Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey teacher, teach me somethin'
Nice teacher, teach me somethin'
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 gonna learn to dance or burst
[Verse 2]
Nothin''s possible, I have found
When your chin is on the ground
You pick yourself up, dust yourself off
Start all over again
[Verse 3]
Don't lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for the pleasant trip
Pick yourself up dust yourself off
Start all over again
[Verse 4]
Work like 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?
Take a deep breathe, brush yourself off
Take a deep breathe, pick yourself up
Start all over again
[Verse 5]
Mister Jay Lenheart on bass, ladies and gentlemen
If you please
[Verse 6]
I gotta hear that again
[Verse 7]
Jay Lenheart, ladies and gentlemen
[Verse 8]
We're gonna do a little Johan Sebastian Bach
Just for you
[Verse 9]
Work like 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?
Take a deep breathe, pick yourself up
Take a deep breathe, dust yourself off
And start all over, start all over
Start all over
