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!
