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 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 

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
