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
And I need to go on, and on, and on, and on.
We are the champions - my friend
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 –
And I need to go on, and on, and on, and on.
Chorus
