Well, I been lookin' around for something
What, I'm just not sure
Sufferin' from this bad condition
Lookin' for a cure
It's called dissatisfaction
Now does this sound like you?
If the shoe fits, wear it, grin and bear it
Here's what you should do

Get up, get out, get on
No need to wait around
'Cause luck ain't gonna come knockin' on your door
So kick it down
Get off of your self-pity
Get out, you're not alone
Get outta that pit, get on with it
Get up, get out, get on
Get up, get out, get on

Well, you gotta work hard at bein' happy
Bein' sad's a breeze
Well, it's easy to feed your discontentment
Wallow in misery
There's a place inside that knows what's right
Gotta dig down deep to find
Don't hesitate and let's find that place
Just in the nick of time

Get up, get out, get on
No need to wait around
'Cause luck ain't gonna come knockin' on your door
So kick it down
Get off of your self-pity
Get out, you're not alone
Get outta that pit, get on with it
Get up, get out, get on
Get up, get out, get on

Nothing's gonna change
If you don't take the upper hand
Let's take that leap of faith
And then just find out where we land
Get on with it
Get up...get out...get on
Get up, get out, get on

Get up, get out, get on
No need to wait around
'Cause a smile ain't gonna grace your face
As long as you wear that frown
Get off of your self-pity
Get out, you're not alone
Get outta that pit, get on with it
Get up, get out, get on

Get up, get out, get on
No need to wait around
'Cause luck ain't gonna come knockin' on your door
So kick it down
Let's get a grip, enjoy the trip
To places yet unknown
Let's show some spunk, get outta that dump
Get up, get out, get on
Get up, get out, get on
Get up, get out, get on...with it

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
