Been in this place for just a short time
Up from the country to have a good time - in the city
Every job he takes he's used and abused
By boss-men who want him to lick their shoes - in the city
Underdog, underdog, you're an underdog
An' that's the way, that's the way you're gonna stay
Underdog, underdog, you're an underdog
An' that's the way, that's the way you're gonna stay
Every girl he's met has got him so upset
Treating him bad with no sign of regret - they don't care
So he went to a brothel to pay for love
The whores looked at him and started to laugh - so unfair
Underdog, underdog, you're an underdog
An' that's the way, that's the way you're gonna stay
Underdog, underdog, you're an underdog
An' that's the way, that's the way you're gonna stay
Kick him to the floor
Then you shut the door - underdog
A one two three four
I must confess as it's for the best
I'm the underdog that was in this mess - before
But now I see where I've been going wrong
An' so I've changed into someone strong - for sure
Underdog, underdog that was me
Now I've changed my way as you see - for sure
Underdog, underdog what a joke
I was dreaming 'till I woke - an' saw
Underdog, underdog that was me
Now I've changed my way as you see - for sure
Underdog, underdog what a joke
I was dreaming 'till I woke - an' saw
