Champion the Wonder Horse! (ta daa ta daa!)
Champion the Wonder Horse! (ta daa ta daa!)
Like a something something something something something...
And a something something something something else...

Like a mighty cannonball he something something
Something something something something else
Something something something something know the name of
Champion the Wonder Horse! (Ta daah ta daaaaaah!!!)

UPDATE: More Champion trivia here, including the complete lyrics.
