Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
[Verse 2]
Number one
Honey, tell me when your working day is done
Were you reachin' for the high rung?
Reachin' to be number one?
[Verse 3]
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
[Verse 4]
Get a car, you want a boat
You want an eenie meenie minie, minie moe
Oh, there must be more to livin'
Than a mortgage and a lawn to mow
[Verse 5]
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
[Verse 6]
Sweaty work and lucky breaks
And blood and tears is all it takes to be a winner
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
People cheer and people gasp
People want your autograph when you're a winner
[Verse 7]
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Win or lose, win or lose
To the loser, full of hearts that lose
To the victor goes the spoilers
Honey, did you win or lose?
[Verse 8]
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Sweaty work, lucky breaks
And blood and tears is all it takes to be a winner
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
People cheer, people gasp
People want your autograph when you're a winner
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
[Verse 9]
Run, run, run, run
Let's see you run
We'll be betting by the starting gun
Shall we shower you with flowers
Or shall we shun ya
When your race is run?
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Will we shower you with flowers
Or will we shun ya
When your race is run?
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Will they shower you with flowers
Or will they shun ya
When your race is run?
[Verse 10]
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
Got to be a winner, trophy winner
Get to hold your head up, high up
Number one
