Lyrics:

   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've bought 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 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

   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
