Take It On The Chin 1937 "Me And My Girl"

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 keep 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 worryin'
'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,
put on a little grin
and smile.
What's the use of worryin'
'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, smile.
