Take It On the Chin
Once my father
And my mother said
And my sister
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 heavens 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
Turn 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 worrying
'Bout a single blessed thing
After all is done and said
Pretty soon we'll 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
Turn on a little grin
And smile
What's the use of worrying
'Bout a single blessed thing
After all is done and said
Pretty soon we'll 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
