Lyrics

What you gonna hear now come from an old Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers movies, sort of 1936 This movie was called Swing Time Hey teacher, teach me something Nice teacher, teach me something I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst My two feet haven't met yet But I'll be teacher's pet yet 'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst And Ginger sings Well, nothing's impossible, I have found When your chin is on the ground You pick yourself up Dust yourself off Start all over again Oh, don't lose your confidence, if you slip Be grateful for the pleasant trip Pick yourself up Dust yourself off Start 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 Had to fall to rise again Take a deep breath Dust yourself off Take a deep breath Pick yourself up Start all over again And Fred sings I'll get some self-assurance If your endurance is great I'll learn in easy stages If you're courageous and wait To feel the strength I want to I must hang on to your hand Maybe by the time I'm 50 I'll get up and do a nifty Nifty, Mike Renzi at the piano, ladies and gentlemen Nobody better That sounds suspiciously like you and Sabaston bond How I love you and Sabaston bond You and Sabaston bond You and Sabaston bond Let's do a little more of JS bond One more time for JS bond 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 Had to fall to rise again Take a deep breath Dust yourself off Take a deep breath Pick yourself up And start all over Start all over Start all over Yeah! Mike Renzi
