[Intro]
[Verse]
Gung Ho, is a word I know
Means things are just beginning
Birth of a child, the wildness of youth
And the turf in the first inning
[Verse]
Coffee in the morning or Chinese herb tea
The former is the one works best for me
You cant be Gung Ho if you re hung over
Broken hearted, beaten down, eating crow
Mr. Brown, Gung Ho
[Verse]
Gung Ho is a tale that s told
With a See ya later to the fold
Got my guitar, the farther I go
And I do mean to be bold
[Verse]
Playing in the subway or a frat party
I ain t gonna be nobody s secretary
You cant be Gung Ho if you re hung over
Broken hearted, beaten down, eating crow
Mr. Brown, gung ho
[Chorus]
Gung Ho, I m just a-riding high
Gung Ho, I m not your ordinary guy
Gung Ho, just don t ask me why
I m doing anything that I m doing, doing, doing
Gung Ho, Gung Ho
[Verse]
Gung Ho is the thing I got
When the girl she got me going
Birth of a child, the wildness of youth
But the bankbook isn t showing
[Verse]
How am I gonna get to where I m sposed to be
A little common sense would be a good thing for me
You cant be Gung Ho if you re hung over
Broken hearted, beaten down, eating crow
Mr. Brown, Gung Ho
[Chorus]
Gung Ho, I m just a riding high
Gung Ho, I had me a pie in the sky
Gung Ho, now I m not sure if I am
I m doing anything that I m doing, doing, doing
Gung Ho, Gung Ho__
[Verse]
Gung Ho is the way I was
When things were just beginning
Birth of a child, the wildness of youth
And the very thought of winning
[Verse]
Everybody said that I would be okay
Not one of them standing to this day
You cant be Gung Ho if you re hung over
Broken hearted, beaten down, eating crow
Mr. Brown, Gung Ho
Broken hearted, beaten down, eating crow
Mr. Brown, Gung Ho
Broken hearted, beaten down, eating crow
Mr. Brown, Gung Ho
