There's a story goin' round about a hero of history
Well I guess I better tell you that the hero of the story is me
And if you wanna understand all the hullaballoo
Then it's time thatcha heard what I'm sayin' to you
If you got what it takes to grow
You gotta take whatcha got and go
And if you got what it takes then take whatcha got
And get goin'
Doodle-ee-doo Doodle-ee-doo Um-um
Doodle-ee-doo Doodle-ee-doo
Well I told you once and I don't wanna tell you twice
I got a heart fulla fire
I got a head fulla good advice
You know the world's plum full of gol' darn fools
Tryin' to run your life
With their gosh-darn rules
If you got what it takes to grow
You gotta take whatcha got an' go
And if you got what it takes then take whatcha got
And get goin'
Doodle-ee-doo Doodle-ee-doo Um-um
Doodle-ee-doo Doodle-ee-doo
So if you wanna get ahead
Get a load of what I'm telling you
Don't you listen to the lies
That the world keeps telling you
Don't hang around with all of them fools
Come and get a gander at the golden rules
If you got what it takes to grow
You gotta take whatcha got an' go
And if you got what it takes then take whatcha got
And get goin'
Get goin' get goin'
