Albert Linville - Heart Lyrics

[VAN BUREN, spoken]
Now listen to me, you guys! This game of baseball is only one half skill. The other half is something else, something bigger!

(sung)
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 'til 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

Ya 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'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?
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, spoken]
Now you're gettin' the idea!

[ROCKY, SMOKEY, & VERNON]
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, spoken]
Boys, I'm proud of ya!

[ROCKY]
We're so happy that we're hummin'
[ROCKY, SMOKEY, & VERNON]
Hmm hmm hmm

[VAN BUREN]
That's the hearty thing to do

[ROCKY, SMOKEY, & VERNON]
Hoo hoo hoo

[SMOKEY]
'Cause we know our ship will come in

[ROCKY, SMOKEY, & VERNON]
Hmm hmm hmm

[ROCKY]
So it's ten years overdue

[ROCKY, SMOKEY, & VERNON]
Hoo hoo hoo
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

[VAN BUREN]
So what the heck's the use of cryin'?
[SMOKEY]
Why should we curse?

[ROCKY]
We 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

[RADIO COMMENTATOR, spoken]
Top of the ninth, one away, nobody on. The Senators 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... he's out by a stitch!

[VERNON, spoken]
Here comes Gloria Thorpe, tell it to her

[SMOKEY, spoken]
Go ahead, Rocky, you start

[LINVILLE, spoken]
Yeah, go ahead

[ROCKY]
We've got—

[ALL]
—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 IOU...

[ALL]
Hoo hoo hoo

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

[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

[ALL]
But we're laughin' cause
We've got heart
We've got heart
We've got heart
