Lyrics You Gotta Be - Dolly Parton

You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, gotta be ready

You gotta be wise as an owl, clever as a beaver
Sneaky as a mouse, bold and eager
Slippery as a snake in tricky situations
(You gotta be ready)

You gotta be quick on the draw
Keep yourself steady with the eye of a hawk
You gotta be ready
Stand up tall (Stand up tall), you can't be petty
Gotta fill your obligations
(You gotta be ready)

Yeah
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, gotta be ready

You gotta be strong as a bear and run like a cheetah
Smart as a whip and fly like an eagle
Plan like a squirrel
And if you ever need a friend, call me
You gotta be ever out lookin' for the sly old fox
You can out smart him, but I'll tell you what
You're not gonna do it if you're not tip top
And you can take this from me

Yeah
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, gotta be ready

Everybody
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be, you gotta be
You gotta be, you gotta be ready

Yeah
You gotta be, gotta be ready
Yeah
You gotta be, gotta be ready

Are you ready?
