[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You can't be gung ho if you're hung over
Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin' crow
Mr. Brown, gung ho
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
You can't be gung ho if you're hung over
Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin' crow
Mr. Brown, gung ho
[Bridge]
Gung ho, I'm just a ridin' high
Gung ho, I'm not your ordinary guy
Gung ho, just don't ask me why
I'm doin' anythin' that I'm doin', doin', doin'
Gung ho, gung ho
[Verse 3]
Gung ho is the thing I got
When the girl she got me goin'
Birth of a child, the wildness of youth
But the bank book isn't showin' (Give me money, give me money)
How am I gonna get to where I'm supposed to be
A little common sense would be a good thing for me
[Chorus]
You can't be gung ho if you're hung over
Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin' crow
Mr. Brown, gung ho (Oh oh oh oh)
[Bridge]
Gung ho, I was a ridin' high
Gung ho, I had me a pie in the sky
Gung ho, now I'm not sure if I am
Doin' anythin' that I'm doin', doin', doin'
Gung ho, gung ho
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
You can't be gung ho if you're hung over
Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin' crow
Mr. Brown, gung ho
[Outro]
Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin' crow
Mr. Brown, gung ho
Broken hearted, beaten down, eatin' crow
Mr. Brown, gung ho
