Early morning, take me over
Father, father, father
Take me to the top
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Early morning, wake me up
Father, father, father
This is not enough
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hey, that sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh, I love to be, I love to be the underdog (hey)
Hey, that sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh, I love to be, I love to be the underdog (hey)
The underdog (hey)
The underdog (hey)
Early evening, settle down
Father, father, father
Who am I to blame?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Early evening, hush me over
Father, father, father
Are we just the same?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hey, that sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh, I love to be, I love to be the underdog (hey)
Hey, that sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh, I love to be, I love to be the underdog (hey)
The underdog (hey)
The underdog (hey)
Living the low life
Low life, low life
Living the low life (la, la, la-la-la)
Low life (hey), low life (la, la, la-la-la)
Living the low life
Hey, that sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh, I love to be, I love to be the underdog (hey)
Hey, that sounds like my luck
I get the short end of it
Oh, I love to be, I love to be the underdog (hey)
(The underdog) the underdog (hey)
I love to be the underdog (hey)
The underdog (hey) (the underdog)
The underdog (the underdog)
The underdog (the underdog)
The underdog (hey)
