[1] I’ve paid my dues time after time. I’ve done my sentence,
and committed no crime. And bad mistakes I’ve made a few.
I’ve had my share of sandkicked in my face, but I’ve come through.
And I need to go on and on and on and on.
[Refrain] 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.
[2] I’ve taken my bows and my curtain calls. You’ve bought me
fame and fortune and ev’rything 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 never lose!
And I need to go on and on and on and on.
[Refrain] 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…
