Verse 1:

Our last day of summer, 1979

Gotta live it up one time before it's over

We will make history tonight

Out at the drive-in

All of our closest friends, they will be sneaking in

You'll be spending the whole night

Trying eveything you can to get that girl to notice you

Chorus:

"We Are the Champions" playing out on the radio station

Everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation

Cruisin' down Pacific Coast Highway Put the top down, crawl into the backseat

Let's create anthems of our own tonight

Verse 2:

Down at the roller rink,

All the cool kids crowded around the air hockey table

"Hey, my best friend likes you,"

I hear you shout at me as you go skating by

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

Sneak out of your window, darlin'

Let's live like outlaws, honey

We'll never look back

Verse 3:

Climb out on this rooftop And stare at the city lights below us

This world belongs to us tonight The kids will keep ragin' on-

And they ain't never gonna stop

Interldue: Do verse chords

Na na na na na na.... D(hold)

(Repeat Chorus twice)

end on D
