Lyrics
Bobby Trucks was a fat little boy
Livin' in a shitty little town.
And every recess the dodgeball flew
And knocked poor Bobby down.
4 pm when he got home
upstairs in his room
He'd lock the door, tie on his cape
Put on his skintight suit
And he'd sing
Underdog victorious
He was simply glorious
One day he'll die notorious
Underdog victorious.
Twenty years later tried out for the band
Did covers of Matchbox 20
But he was dreaming of The New York Dolls
And Max's Kansas City
Of course they wouldn't let him join
Thought he was too queer
But he didn't care, back in his room he sang into his mirror
He'd sing.
Underdog victorious
He was simply glorious
One day he'll die notorious
Underdog victorious.
He could see into the future
That was one of his gifts.
Someday all the dodgeball bullies
Would dream of his sweet kiss
They'd sing.
Underdog victorious
He was simply glorious
One day he'll die notorious
Underdog victorious.
