I've paid my dues

Time after time

I've done my sentence

But committed no crime

And bad mistakes

I've made a few

I've had my share of sand kicked in my face

But I've come through



We are the champions - my friends

And we'll keep on fighting - till the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions - of the world



I've taken my bows

And my curtain calls

You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it

I thank you all



But it's been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

And I ain't gonna lose



We are the champions - my friends

And we'll keep on fighting - till the end

We are the champions -

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions - of the world
