[VAN BUREN]
Now, listen to me you guys.
This game of baseball is only one-half skill.
The other half is something else...
Something bigger!
♫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
Ya 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
[VAN BUREN]
Now, you're gettin' the idea!
[ROCKY, SMOKEY, LINVILLE]
We've got hope
We don't sit around and mope
Not a solitary sob do we heave
Mister, 'cause we've got hope
[VAN BUREN]
Boys, I'm proud of you!
[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
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
[BOYS]
But keep that old horse before the cart
[VAN BUREN]
So what the heck's 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 them 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!
*****************
And, amazingly, the Senators win the pennant!
YAY!
Can't there be truth in fiction?
