Keep your chin up when you're feelin' lonely 
Don't let them get you down 
Ain't no use in you sitting all alone 
Hangin' around for someone to call 
Ooh they won't come knockin' at all 
Don't run and hide 
Even if it hurts you inside 
So I said 
Give as good as you get - yeah 

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em 
You've got to do it 
'Cause it makes you feel good 
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em 
You're never gonna help yourself 

Yeah, come on, go, get up, hey, sure feelin' good 

Keep your fingers off my money 
Don't try and pull me down 
You're takin' me out to wine and dine me 
Tryin' to wind me 'round and around 
Invite me to your little contract ha! ha! 
Rumour has it that you could play dirty 
I'll tell you what I'll do about that and that oh yeah 
I'm playing them at their own game - yeah! 

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em 
You've got to do it 
'Cause it makes you feel good 
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em 
You're never gonna help yourself 

Yeah, that's good, playing dirty 

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em 
Oh, you've got to do it 
'Cause it makes you feel good 
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em 

It's everyone for themselves 

Move on out, hey 
Hey 
All right, let rock 'n' roll reign 
Hey whooh hoo
