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 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 -
We are the champions
No time for losers
`Cause we are the champions - of the world
