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.

We are the champions, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ‘til 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 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.

We are the champions, my friends,
And we’ll keep on fighting ‘til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the world.

Being a CEO is no cakewalk in the times that we live in. The common factor among all the CEOs profiled in this special edition is their consistency. They have been achievers right through their school days. Hence, *this 1977 single – not reproduced in its entirety; © Sony /ATV Music Publishing – written and performed by the late Freddie Mercury of the British rock band Queen is an apt description of their rise to the top. Its uplifting nature also encompasses the cheerleading role that all CEOs are expected to play.
