Gung Ho - The Roches

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

Coffee in the morning or Chinese herb tea

The former is the one works best for me

You can?

t be Gung Ho if yer hung over

Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin?

Mr. Brown, Gung Ho

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

Playin?

in the subway or a frat party

I ain?

t gonna be nobody?

s secretary

You can?

t be Gung Ho if you’re hung over

Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin?

Gung Ho is the thing I got when the

Girl she got me goin?

Birth of a child, the wildness of youth

But the bankbook isn?

How am I gonna get to where I?

m 'spose to be

A little common sense would be a good thing for me

You can?

Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin?

Doin?

Gung Ho, Gung Ho

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

Everybody said

That I would be okay, not one of them

Standing to this day

You can?

t be Gung Ho if you’re hung over

Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin?
