Damn Yankees the Musical - Heart Lyrics

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

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
