This has been driving me and some friends nuts, and I'm hoping some of you
experts can help end our agony. There is an old old song that everyone seems
to be able to sing this one line. The lyric we believe is-

"Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again."

And this is all we know.

Some think it's a Sinatra song. Some think it's a kid song. Nobody knows for
sure. We don't know the song title, any of the other words, where it's from,
and who sings it. I would be so grateful to anyone who has a clue. Thanks.

T.I.A.

It is indeed called "Pick Yourself Up", and was originally used in the
movie "Swing Time" with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Here are the
lyrics as sung in that movie. I know it was also recorded by Nat King
Cole. Frank Sinatra could very well have done it too, but I don't
know. What a great song!

Lyrics to "Pick Yourself Up"
music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Dorothy Fields

FRED:
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.

GINGER:
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
'Til 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 have to fall to rise again.
So take a deep breath;
Pick yourself up;
Dust yourself off;
Start all over again.

FRED:
I'll get some self assurance
If your endurance is great.
I'll learn by easy stages
If you're courageous and wait.

To feel the strength I want to,
I must hang onto your hand.
Maybe by the time I'm fifty,
I'll get up and do a nifty.

(dance and dialogue)

Pick yourself up; dust yourself off;
Start all over again.

(dance and dialogue)
