Me And My Girl - Take It On The Chin lyrics

Once my father said And my mother said And my sister said And my brother said Now you're growing up Soon you're gonna fall out Of the family roundabout. Then my father said And my mother said And my sister said And my brother said There's one little thing You should certainly know When into the world you go. Take your troubles on the chin And though you get an earful! Don't despair or tear your hair, For heaven's sake be cheerful! That's what father said, That's what mother said, That's what sister said, That's what brother said. They were certainly right in telling me so And I think that you should know! Here's a little trick, Whenever things get a little bit thick Just you take it on the chin, Put on a little grin and smile, smile! Here's a little ruse To counteract an attack of the blues, Just you take it on the chin, Turn on a little grin and smile! What's the use of worr'ing 'Bout a single blessed thing, After all it's done and said, Pretty soon we all be dead! So as we're alive, If there's a bother you want to survive, Just you take it on the chin, Cultivate a little grin and smile! Here's a little trick, Whenever things get a little bit thick Just you take it on the chin, Put on a little grin and smile, smile! Here's a little ruse To counteract an attack of the blues, Just you take it on the chin, Turn on a little grin and smile! What's the use of worr'ing 'Bout a single blessed thing, After all it's done and said, Pretty soon we all be dead! So as we're alive, If there's a bother you want to survive, Just you take it on the chin, Cultivate a little grin, Just you take it on the chin, Cultivate a little grin and Smile, smile, smile!
