What the [bad word] you playing at
if baby you don't play to win?
Why did you take possession
if you didn't want to put it in?

Well, first is first and fair is fair
But second place is nowhere

Well, they say God loves a trier
Well, they lied
It's just that triers pose no treat to him
And if you don't deliver
No-one's gonna give a [bad word] for you, my friend

But everybody loves the underdog
Yeah, everybody loves the underdog

Oh, but it's the winning that counts not the taking part
Better get that straight right from the start
Oh, everybody, everybody loves the underdog

But every dog must have its day [bad word] on and make your play
Take your chances if you can
'Cos otherwise you're going down
Going down
You're going down
You're going down
You're going down
You're going down
Yeah, yeah
You're going down
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

'Cos everybody loves the underdog
Everybody loves the underdog
Everybody loves the underdog
Everybody loves the underdog
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Everybody loves the underdog
Everybody loves the underdog
Everybody loves the underdog
Everybody loves the underdog
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody loves the underdog
