Please 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 going to learn to dance or burst Nothing's impossible, I have found For when my chin is on the ground I pick myself up, dust myself off Start all over again. Don't lose your confidence if you slip Be grateful for a pleasant trip And pick yourself up; dust yourself off 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 Start all over again I'll get some self assurance If your endurance is great I'll learn by easy stages If you're courageous and wait To feel the strength I want to I must hang onto your hand Maybe by the time I'm fifty I'll get up and do a nifty Pick yourself up; dust yourself off Start all over again
