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      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
