1. I've paid my dues, time after time, I've done my sentence, but committed no crime.

2. 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.

1. And bad mistakes, I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face,

2. But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise, I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

1. but I've come through.

2. 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 ~ ~
