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`
