Me And My Girl - Take It On The Chin Lyrics
Once my father saidAnd my mother saidAnd my sister saidAnd my brother saidNow you're growing upSoon you're gonna fall outOf the family roundabout.Then my father saidAnd my mother saidAnd my sister saidAnd my brother saidThere's one little thingYou should certainly knowWhen into the world you go.Take your troubles on the chinAnd 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 soAnd I think that you should know!Here's a little trick,Whenever things get a little bit thickJust you take it on the chin,Put on a little grin and smile, smile!Here's a little ruseTo 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 thickJust you take it on the chin,Put on a little grin and smile, smile!Here's a little ruseTo 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 andSmile, smile, smile!
