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 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

instr.

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

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
