[Verse 1]

Early mornin', take me over

Father, father, father

Take me to the top, oh-oh, oh-oh

Early mornin', wake me up

Father, father, father

This is not enough, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

The underdog, hey

The underdog, hey

[Verse 2]

Early evenin', settle down

Father, father, father

Who am I to blame, oh-oh, oh-oh

Early evenin', hush me over

Father, father, father

Are we just the same, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

The underdog, hey

The underdog, hey

[Bridge]

Livin' the low life

Low life, low life

Livin' the low life

(La, la, la-la, la) Low life

(La, la, la-la, la) Low life

Livin' the low life

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

(The underdog) The underdog, hey

I love to be the underdog, hey

(The underdog) The underdog, hey

(The underdog) The underdog

(The underdog) The underdog, hey
