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)
