Main Title Song

When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog! (Underdog!)
Underdog! (Underdog!)
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder!
Fighting all who rob or plunder!
Underdog! (Ooooooo!)
Underdog! UNDERDOG!!!

When in this world the headlines read,
Of those whose hearts are filled with greed,
Who rob and steal from those in need,
To right this wrong with blinding speed goes
Underdog! (Underdog!)
Underdog! (Underdog!)
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder!
Fighting all who rob or plunder!
Underdog! (Ooooooo!)
Underdog! UNDERDOG!!!
