Pep, Vim and Verve

Washington at Valley Forge
Was lookin' mighty grim
He thought old King George's boys
Had got the best of him

Then he called a meeting
Of his tired and hungry men
And what he said to them that night
Is well worth sayin' again

Ya gotta have pep, vim and verve
Zing, zip and ginger
Pep, vim and verve to carry the day

Hey hear what I say
'Cause if you got pep, vim and verve
Zing, zip and ginger
Pep, vim and verve will carry the day

If you're 'fraid to meet the dawn
Because of what may follow
Raise your chin, puff out your chest
And take a deep brеath and swallow

Now ya got pep, vim and verve
Zing, zip and gingеr
Pep, vim and verve to carry the day

Tarzan and his trusty apes
Were loungin' in the trees
Distant drums with nasty news
Came blowing on the breeze

Another (?)'s in a stew
So cheetahs swingin' by
Let's pull that dodo from the pot
Before they pour the wine

We gotta have pep, vim and verve
Zing, zang and a ginger, va-vop
Pep, vim and verve to carry the day

Take a lesson from Tarzan
We got pep, vim and verve

Swing on, swing on, swing on the vine

If you're 'fraid to meet the dawn
Because of what may follow
Raise your chin, puff out your chest
And take a deep breath and swallow

We got pep, vim and verve
Zing, zippa ginger
Pep, vim and verve to carry the day
Oh, yeah
