Lyrics

The winner takes all,
It's the thrill of one more kill,
The last one to fall, will never sacrifice their will!

Don't ever look back, on the world closing in,
be on the attack with your wings on the wind,
Oh, the games will begin.

And its sweet sweet sweet victory, yeah!
It's ours for the taking, it’s ours for the fight.
And it's sweet sweet sweet victory, yeah!
And the one who's last to fall.
The winner takes all.

You don't win no silver,
Oh, You only lose the gold,
You push with a fever for your time keeps tolling on,

Against all the odds, against all your pain,
Your back’s on the wall with no one to blame,
Wild hearts won't be tamed.

And it's sweet sweet sweet victory, oh!
It's ours for the taking, it’s ours for the fight.
And it's sweet sweet sweet victory,
And the one who's last to fall.
The winner takes all...

Take it!
[guitar solo]

And the one who's last to fall.

Sweet sweet sweet victory, yeah!
It's ours for the taking, it’s ours for the fight.
And it's sweet sweet sweet victory, yeah!
And the one who's last to fall.
The winner takes all!

Trivia

The song was initially released in 1986. However, some fans say that it was written specifically for the episode.
This is the second song where SpongeBob sings, but his voice was not provided by Tom Kenny. The first was the Ripped Pants song.
The song is used in WWE's The American Dream: The Dusty Rhodes Story documentary, released on DVD in 2006. It is played during a montage showcasing a famous cage match between Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair.^[2]^[3]
