We Are The Champions by Queen
Buddy you're a boy makin' big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place
Singin' We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place
We will we will rock you
Singin' We will we will rock you
Buddy you're an old man poor man
Pleadin' with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
We will we will rock you
Singin' We will we will rock you
Everybody

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
Alright
Ive paid my dues -Time after time -Ive done my sentence
But committed no crime -And bad mistakes Ive made a few
Ive had my share of sand kicked in my face -But Ive come through
Ive taken my bows And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all -But its been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I aint gonna lose -We are the champions - my friends
And well 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
