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
