KEEP ON TRYIN’


I had a little scooter but you know I couldn’t ride it
I just couldn’t move it, no matter how I tried
I thought that it would beat me, but you know I wouldn’t let it
Instead, I keep on tryin’ ‘till I get it

But did you get it?—Did I get it?
But, did you get it?—Did I get it?
Don’t you know I tried?

I couldn’t learn my alphabet from A to Z
I thought that something must have been wrong with me
Well, something might stop me, but as yet, I haven’t met it
I got to keep on tryin’ ‘till I get it

But did you get it?—Did I get it?
But, did you get it?—Did I get it?
Don’t you know I tried?

Learnin’s often easier than puttin’ on a cushion
But, every now and then, you gotta keep on pushin’
You ask me what ya gonna do when the well runs dry
Well, you are gonna get some water if you try

I couldn’t learn my numbers from 1 to 10
But, I counted them over and over again
I learned my lesson and I’ll never forget it
‘Cause I keep on tryin’ ‘till I get it

But did you get it?—Did I get it?
But, did you get it?—Did I get it?
Don’t you know I tried?
