What have you got
What have you gotta
What have you gotta have?
What!?
You've gotta have heart
All you relly need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start
You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Nothing is half as bad as it may appear
Wait'll next year hope
When your luck is battin' zero (don't you cry)
Get your chin up off the floor (tell you why)
Mister you can be a hero (if you try)
You can open any door
There's nothin' to it, but to do it
You've gotta have heart
Miles 'n miles n' miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse before the cart
First you've gotta have heart
You've gotta have heart
All you relly need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start
You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit and mope
Just grin, you'll when
We can tell you this
We're so happy that we're humming (hum, hum, hum)
That's the hardy thing to do (do, do, do)
Cause we know our ship will come in (hum, hum, hum)
Though it's ten years overdue (boo-hoo hoo)
You've gotta have heart
Miles 'n miles n' miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse before the cart
So what the heck is the use of cryin'
Why should we curse?
We gotta get better cause it can't get worse
Until after it
We've got heart
We've got heart
We've got heart!
