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'
