1. You gotta have heart all you really need is heart
When the odds are sayin' you'll never win
That's when the grin should start
2. You've gotta have hope mustn't sit around and mope
Nothin's half as bad as it may appear
Wait'll next year and hope
When your luck is battin' zero
Get your chin off the floor
Mister you can be a hero
You can open any door
There's nothin' to it but do it
3. You gotta have heart miles and miles and miles of heart
Oh it's fine to be a genius of course but keep the old horse before the cart
First you've gotta have heart
(Repeat all verses)
