In this world of make believe i must confess



To be number one you've got to do it better



And if you strive to be happy you'll find success



Perspectively you've got to pull it together



Nothing good will come to you if you don't see



A reason for victory



Everybody loves the winner



Only the winner can really make things happen



Everybody loves the winner, so be the winner, i know you are



If there's something you'd like to do you've never done



Don't let fear stand in your way



Just collect your dreams and thoughts and get on the run



I wouldn't wait another day



You can be the best in everything you do



When it thawls out, it's all up to you



Everybody loves the winner (everybody loves the winner)



Only a winner can really make things happen



Everybody loves a winner (everybody loves a winner)



So be the winner you are



Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)



Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)



Be a winner, a winner, a winner, yes you can



'cause everybody (everybody) loves (loves a winner)



The winner, so be a winner



You can only make things happen



Everybody (everybody) loves a winner (loves a winner)



So be the winner, i know you are



Every (everybody), everybody, (loves a winner)



Really loves the winner, (so be a winner)



Only the winner can really make things happen



Everybody (everybody) loves the winner (loves a winner)



So be a winner (so be a winner), i know you are if you really try



Be a winner, you know you can, you know you can



You know you can be a winner



(yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)



Scat (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)



Scat



(everybody) yeah, (loves a winner)



Scat



(everybody loves a winner)



(everybody) everybody really loves a winner (loves a winner)!
