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 (2x) 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 fortuen 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 (2x) No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - of the world
