Underdog
Everyone said they had no chance
That they would surely lose
Against a better team
Of superior skill and guile
And of greater strength
That their outlook could not be hopeful
That they would surely be defeated
Outclassed, overwhelmed
And all their efforts overcome
And be badly beaten
Just for their impertinence
Of even daring to take the field
And the bookies gave the poorest odds
Saying their challenge could not be rated
But every underdog may have his day
And turn the situation round
By finding those hidden reserves
That no-one knew they had
Springing the sudden surprise
And cause an unpredicted upset
Snatching worthy victory
From out the very jaws
Of expected defeat
