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
( * )
