Either keep that up for the last part, or switch to chords.
I like F#, C#, E, B when alone, or F#, C#, B, F# if there is a bass.

FA#
We are the table, the captain's table

Let's get it understood, let's get it understood
MI
We are the losers, we are the bruisers

We are the diners, the final diners
DO#
Let's get it understood, let's get it understood

Most of us tinkers, some of us tailors,

MI
We are the neighbours, the nosy neighbours
SI
We think just like we would, we think just like we should.
