Lyrics

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
I'll get that thing yet
Nothing's impossible,
I have found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
Can't lose my confidence if
I slipI'm grateful for a pleasant trip
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
I'll work like a soul inspired'
Til the battle of the day is won
Though I am sick and tired
I will stick 'til the job is done
When I remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again
I take a deep breath, pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
How am I doing, fellas?
Pick myself up, dust myself off
Start all over again
Right
