[Chorus 1]
You've gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are saying you'll never win
That's when the grin should start

[Chorus 2]
You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Nothing's half as bad as it may appear
Wait 'til next year and hope

[Bridge]
When your luck is batting zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister, you can be a hero
You can open any door
There's nothing to it but to do it

[Chorus 3]
You've gotta have heart
Miles, and miles, and miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius, of course
But keep that old horse [?] for the car
First, you've gotta have heart
[Bridge]
When your luck is batting zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister, you can be a hero
You can open any door
There's nothing to it but to do it

[Chorus 1]
You've gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are saying you'll never win
That's when the grin should start

[Chorus 2]
You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Nothing's half as bad as it may appear
Wait 'til next year and hope

[Bridge]
When your luck is batting zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Mister, you can be a hero
You can open any door
There's nothing to it but to do it
[Chorus 3]
You've gotta have heart
Miles, and miles, and miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius, of course
But keep that old horse [?] for the car
First, you've gotta have heart
