Pep, Vim and Verve

Lyrics

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
