You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, gotta be ready

You gotta be wise as an owl, clever as a beaver
Sneaky as a mouse, bold and eager
Slippery as a snake in tricky situations
You gotta be quick on the draw
Keep yourself steady with the eye of of a hawk
You gotta be ready;
Stand up tall, you can't be petty
Gotta fill your obligation

You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, gotta be ready

You gotta be strong as a bear and run like a cheetah
Smart as a whip and fly like an eagle
Plan like a squirrel and if you ever need-a
Friend, call me
You gotta be ever out lookin' for the sly old fox
You can out smart him, but I'll tell you what
You're not gonna do it if you're not tip top
And you can take this from me
Yeah, you gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, gotta be ready

Everybody!

You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you got-ta be
You gotta be, gotta be ready

Yeah, you gotta be, gotta be ready
Yeah, you gotta be, gotta be ready
Are you ready?
