I’m Building Up To An Awful Let-Down

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
Nothings impossible I have found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
I can’t lose my confidence if I slip
I’m grateful for a pleasant trip
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
I work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won
I know, I’m sick and tired
I’ll stick till the job is done
When I remember those famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
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, dust yourself off
And start all over again
I work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won
I maybe sick and tired
But at least I’ll have some fun
When I remember those famous man
Who had to fall to rise again?
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
Take a breath
Pick yourself up Dust yourself off
And start all over again
