I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But 1 no crime

And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand 2 in my face
But I've come through
(And I mean to go on and on and on)

We are the 3 , my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No 4 for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Of the world

I've 5 my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and 6 and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's 7 no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human 8
And I ain't gonna lose, ah
(And I mean to go on and on and on)

We are the champions, my 9
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
