maryann plunkett - take it on the chin - original cast recording/1986 lyrics

Loading...

[sally]
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, 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 bomb that 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 bomb that 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!
