I've taken my bows and my curtain calls. You've bought 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. And I need to go on, and on, and on, and on.
