Heart

Now listen to me, you guys
 This game of baseball is only one half skill
 The other half is something else
 Something bigger
 You 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
 You gotta have hope
 Mustn't sit around and mope
 Nothing's half as bad as it may appear
 Wait 'til next year and hope
 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
 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 before the cart
 First you gotta have heart
 A great slugger, we haven't got
 A great pitcher we haven't got
 A great ball club we haven't got
 What do we got?
 We've got heart
 All you really need is heart
 When the odds are saying you'll never win
 That's when the grin should start
 Now you're getting the idea
 We've got hope!
 We don't sit around and mope
 Not a solitary sob do we heave
 Mister, 'cause we've got hope
 Boys, I'm proud of ya
 We're so happy that we're humming (hmm, hmm, hmm)
 That's the hearty thing to do (ho, ho, ho)
 'Cause we know our ship will come in (hmm, hmm, hmm)
 So, it's ten years overdue (ho, ho, ho)
 We've got heart
 Miles and miles and 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's the use of crying?
 Why should we curse?
 We've gotta get better, 'cause we can't get worse!
 And to add to it, we've got heart
 We've got heart
 We've got heart
 Top of the ninth, one away, nobody on
 The senator's now just two outs away from the pennant
 Bauer steps in, Hollingsworth gets his sign
 Delivers, Bauer swings
 And it's a hard hit ball to deep short
 Sohovic charges over
 Backhands it beautifully, and there's the long throw
 And he's out by a step
 Here comes Gloria Thorpe
 Tell it to heart
 Go ahead, Rocky, you start
 Yeah, go ahead
 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
 We're so happy that we're laughing (ha, ha, ha)
 That's the hearty thing to do (ho, ho, ho)
 So we ain't been autographin' (ha, ha, ha)
 'Cept to sign an IOU (ho, ho, ho)
 We've got heart
 Miles and miles and miles of heart
 Oh, it's fine to be a genius, of course
 But keep that old horse before the cart
 Who minds them pop bottles flying
 The hisses and the boos?
 The team has been consistent
 Yeah, we always lose
 But we're laughing 'cause
 We've got heart!
 We've got heart!
 We've got heart
