[Part I: How to Succeed]

[Verse 1]
How to apply for a job
How to advance from the mail room
How to sit down at a desk
How to dictate memorandums
How to develop executive style
How to commute in a three-button suit
With that weary executive smile

[Chorus]
This book is all that I need
How to, how to succeed

[Verse 2]
How to observe personnel
How to select whom to lunch with
How to avoid petty friends
How to begin making contacts
How to walk into a conference room
With an idea, brilliant business idea
That'll make your expense account zoom

[Chorus]
This book is all that I need
How to, how to succeed
[Part II: I Believe in You]

[Chorus]
Oh, I believe in you
I believe in you

[Verse 3]
You havе the cool clear eyеs
Of a seeker of wisdom and truth
Yet there's that upturned chin
And the grin of impetuous youth

[Chorus]
Oh, I believe in you
I believe in you

[Bridge]
And when my faith in my fellow man
All but falls apart
I've but to feel your hand grasping mine
And I take heart, I take heart

[Part III: How To Succeed / I Believe in You]

[Verse 4]
How to apply for a job
How to advance from the mail room
How to sit down at a desk
How to observe personnel
How to select whom to lunch with
How to avoid petty friends
Begin making contacts
[Chorus]
Oh, I believe in you
I believe in you
