"Keep On Trying" lyrics - JIM CAPALDI

Old man sittin' under a street beneath the concrete,
With his head between his feet.
Looks like he was accepting defeat.
So I walk up to him and I say,
Listen old man they wanna have it all your way.
He looked at me and smiled.
Then right before my eyes turned into a child.

[Chorus:]
Keep on tryin'. Gotta keep on tryin'.
Gotta keep on tryin', till it all works out.

I wandered on down the street, wonderin' who next I'd meet.
When around the corner came this girl,
She said her name was Pearl. I said "Hi my name's Jim".
We looked at the buildings. They were doin' us in.

[Chorus]

Now everybody's walkin' about in them great big shoe.
Smilin' on their faces they look so amused.
I don't know why they wanna look so conspicuous.
Somebody ought to tell them they look ridiculous.

[Chorus 2x]
