You gotta have heart
All you really need is heart
When the odds are saying you'll never win
That's when the grin should start

You gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Things are not as bad as they may appear
So wait till next year and hope

When your luck is batting zero
Get your chin up off the floor
Rita you can be a hero
You can open every door
There's nothing to it
But to do it...

You gotta have heart
Miles and miles and miles of heart
When the odds are saying you'll never win
That's when the grin should start

Then you gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
It'd be great to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse before the cart
First you gotta have heart!

(There's a parody that deals with skin as well, but I'll spare you that one)


Well done Rita, and here's to the next 13 years.
