A great song for kids, or anyone for that matter

PICK YOURSELF UP Lyrics by Dorothy Fields Music by Jerome Kern From movie: Swing Time 1936 Sung and danced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (see clip on YouTube) Nothing’s impossible I have found For when my chin is on the ground I pick myself up, Dust myself off, And start all over again! Don’t lose your confidence If you slip. Be grateful for A pleasant trip. Just pick yourself up, Dust yourself off And start all over again! Work like a soul afire ‘Til the battle of the day is won. You may be sick and tired, But you’ll be a man, my son. Don’t you remember those famous men Who had to fall, to rise again? So, pick yourself up, (breathe in, breathe out) Take a deep breath (breathe in, breathe out) Just pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, And start all over again!
