Believe In Yourself

Used to think I was a loser

And all I did was bound to fail

To be a shaker and a mover

Keep the bad guys off your tail

Everybody wanna get to the top of the heap sometime

Everybody wanna climb to the top of the hill sometime

Everybody gotta take a little piece of the heat sometime

Everybody gotta stand on their own two feet, sometime

And I mean you, and I mean you

And I mean you, and I mean you

Believe in yourself, and nobody else

Everybody wants a shot at a lick of the cream sometime

Everybody wanna go, make a bit of a show sometime

Everybody need a chance, tap into the flow sometime

Everybody wanna trip, get a crack of the whip, sometime

And I mean you and I mean you

And I mean you and I mean you

Believe in yourself, and nobody else

And I mean you and I mean you

And I mean you and I mean you

People with problems

People on streets

People down your way

People you meet

Believe in yourself

Believe in yourself

Believe (bus conductors) in (people on trams) yourself (Welshmen and sheep, clamps)

Believe (lepidopterists) in (collectors of stamps) yourself (leopards with spots on, tramps)

I mean you (space wasting journalists), I mean you (people in far flung posts)

I mean you (unpleasant neighbours), I mean you (ghosts)

I mean you (Duane Eddy), and I mean you (lawyers with fees)

And I mean you (Elvis), and I mean you (deciduous trees)

And I mean you (bosses), and I mean you (pets)

And I mean you (nurses, vets)

Believe (people with peepholes) in (you) yourself

You (Elsie), you (Stan)

I believe (mother, Desperate Dan)
