I've paid my dues time after time 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've 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 And I need to go on and on and on and on 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 Of the world I've done my sentence but committed no crime
