[Verse 1]
Keep your chin up when you're feeling lonely
Don't let 'em get you down
Ain't no use in your sitting all alone, hanging around
For someone to call, ooh, they won't come knocking at all
Don't run and hide even if it hurts you inside
So I said, "Give as good as you get, yeah!"

[Chorus]
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
You'd better do it, 'cause it makes you feel good
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
You're never gonna help yourself

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Come on, go
Get up!
Hey-hey!
It sure feels good

[Verse 2]
Keep your big hands off of my money
Don't try and pull me down
You're taking me out to wine and dine me
Trying to wind me 'round and around
And bind me to your legal contract (Ha ha!)
Rumour has it that you can play it dirty
I'll tell you what I'll do about that, that yeah!
I'll play you at your own game, yes!
[Chorus]
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
You'd better do it 'cause it makes you feel good
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
You're never gonna help yourself

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
That's good
Play it again!

[Chorus]
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
Oh, you'd better do it 'cause it makes you feel good
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
It's everyone for themselves!

[Outro]
Move on out!
Hey!
Oh, I like it!
Rock 'n' Roll ready! Yeah
Woo-hoo!
