I’m Building Up To An Awful Let-Down - Fred Astaire, Johnny Green & His Orchestra

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
