Pick youself up, take a deep breath, dust yourself off
And start all over again, 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, and dust yourself off
And start all over again, work like a soul inspired, 'til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired, but you'll be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men, who had to fall to rise again
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, Dust yourself off and start all over again
Musical Interlude
Don't lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip
Just pick youself up, dust yourself off, and try to start all over again
(Scat)
You've got to work like a soul inspired, 'til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick, you may be tired, but you're gonna be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again
Just take a deep breath,ah, pick yourself up
Dust yourself off, have a nice trip and start all over again
(Scat and laughter)
