He's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
Can't say no to cruisers
When she says "When he'll be back again?"
He's just another loser like me
There's a hobo up in heaven on the golden street
He'll panhandle every angel that he'll meet
He'd hock his harp for some Sneaky Pete
He's just another loser like me
Losers, losers
Some are dopers, some are boozers
All the muscatel is down in hell
He's just another loser like me
When God appeared to Saint John Wayne
He told him "Duke, I'm a-coming again
Life is just a wagon train
I'm glad you're not a loser like me"
Losers, losers
Ten gallon bruisers
From Genghis Khan to the Fuller Brush Man
They're just a bunch of losers like me
