Pick Myself Up

Presidents’ Day 2024



Pick Myself Up

Music by Jerome Kern, with lyrics by Dorothy Fields


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

 

Till 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 . . .

 

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!
