[Van buren]

You've 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

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 up off the floor

Mister you can be a hero

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

[Rocky]

A great slugger we haven't got

[Smokey]

A great pitcher we haven't got

[Vernon]

A great ball club we haven't got

[Rocky, smokey & vernon]

What've we got?

[All]

We've got heart

All you really need is heart

When the odds are sayin' you'll never win

That's when the grin should start

[Rocky, smokey, linville]

We've got hope

We don't sit around and mope

Not a solitary sob do wwe heave

Mister, 'cause we've got hope

[Rocky]

We're so happy that we're hummin'

[All]

Hmm-hmm-hmm

[Van buren]

That's the hearty thing to do

[All]

Hoo-hoo-hoo

[Smokey]

'Cause we know our ship will come in

[All]

Hmm-hmm-hmm

[Rocky]

So it's ten years overdue

[All]

Hoo-hoo-hoo

We've got heart

Miles 'n miles 'n miles o' heart

[Vernon]

Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course

[Boys]

Butt keep that old horse before the cart

[Van buren]

So what the hecks the use of cryin'?

[Smokey]

Why should we curse?

[Rocky]

We've gotta get better, 'cause we can't get worse!

[All]

And to add to it, we've got heart

We've got heart

We've got heart

We've got heart

All you really need is heart

When the odds are sayin' you'll never win

That's when the grin should start

[Smokey]

We're so happy that we're laughin'

[All]

Ha ha ha

[Van buren]

That's the hearty thing to do

[All]

Hoo-hoo-hoo

[Vernon]

So we ain't been autographin'

[All]

Ha ha ha

[Rocky]

'Cept to sign an I.o.u.

[All]

Hoo-hoo-hoo

[All]

We've got 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

[Smokey]

Who minds those pop bottles flyin'?

[Vernon]

The hisses and the boos

[Van buren]

The team has been consistent

[Rocky]

Yeah, we always lose

[Three boys]

But we're laughin' cause... We've got heart

[All four boys]

We've got heart... We've got heart
