Ev'ry day is an endless train

You got to ride it to the end of the line

Be a troubleshooter

Blow the bad luck away

And you will make it

To your station on time

And you'll find out

Ev'ry trick in the book

And that there's only one way

To get things done;

You'll find out the only way to the top

Is lookin' out for number one

I mean you

Keep looking out for number one

Ev'ry night is a different game

We gotta work for our fortune and fame

Success is a ladder

Take a step at a time

And the people will remember you name

Yes I found out

All the tricks of the trade

And that there's only one way

You're gonna get things done;

I found out the only way to the top

Is lookin' out for number one

And that's me

I'm looking out for number one

Ev'ry day is an endless train

But I ride it to end of the line

I'm a real troubleshooter

And I blow it away

No one's gonna get what's mine

I found out ev'ry trick in the book

And that there's only one way

To get things done;

I found out the only way to

The top is lookin' out for number one

I mean you

Keep looking out for number one

And that's us;

Keep lookin' out for number one

That's me;

I'm looking out for number one
