Happy little day, Jimmy went away 

Met his little Jenny on a public holiday 

A happy pair they made, so decorously laid 

'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade 

"It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air 

I'll weave my spell" 

"Jenny will you stay - tarry with me pray 

Nothing 'ere need come between us tell me love, what 

Do you say" 

"Oh no I must away to my Mum in disarray 

If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday 

It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air 

I'll say farewell" 

O Rock of Ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still 

O Lady Moon, shine down a little people magic if you will 

Jenny pines away, writes a letter everyday 

"We must ever be together, nothing can my love erase" 

"Oh no I'm compromised, I must apologise 

If my lady should discover how I spent my holidays..."

Killer Queen.

(Mercury)

She keeps Moet et Chandon 

In her pretty cabinet 

'Let them eat cake' she says 

Just like Marie Antoinette 

A built-in remedy 

For Kruschev and Kennedy 

At anytime an invitation 

You can't decline 

Caviar and cigarettes 

Well versed in etiquette 

Extraordinarily nice 

She's a Killer Queen 

Gunpowder, gelatine 

Dynamite with a laser beam 

Guaranteed to blow your mind 

Anytime 

Recommended at the price 

Insatiable an appetite 

Wanna try? 

To avoid complications 

She never kept the same address 

In conversation 

She spoke just like a baroness 

Met a man from China 

Went down to Geisha Minah 

Then again incidentally 

If you're that way inclined 

Perfume came naturally from Paris 

For cars she couldn't care less 

Fastidious and precise 

Drop of a hat she's as willing as 

Playful as a pussy cat 

Then momentarily out of action 

Temporarily out of gas 

To absolutely drive you wild, wild.. 

She's all out to get you 

Recommended at the price 

Insatiable an appetite 

Wanna try? 

You wanna try...

Tenement Funster.

(Taylor)

My new purple shoes, bin' amazin' the people next door 

And my rock 'n roll 45's, bin' enragin' the folks on the lower floor 

I got a way with girls on my block 

Try my best be a real individual 

And when we go down to Smokies and rock 

They line up like it's some kinda ritual 

Oh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair's a disgrace 

Or, just give me an open car, I'll make the speed of light outta this place 

I like the good things in life 

But most of the best things ain't free 

And this same situation, just cuts like a knife 

When you're young, and you're poor, and you're crazy 

But oh, give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair's a disgrace 

Or, just give me an open car, I'll make the speed of light outta this place.

Flick of the Wrist.

(Mercury)

Dislocate your spine if you don't sign he says 

I'll have you seeing double 

Mesmerize you when he's tongue-tied 

Simply with those eyes 

Synchronize your minds and see 

The beast within him rise 

Don't look back 

Don't look back 

It's a rip-off 

Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby 

Blow him a kiss and you're mad 

Flick of the wrist - he'll eat your heart out 

A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head 

He's taken an arm and taken a leg 

All this time honey 

Baby you've been had. 

Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying 

If not you'll lie in knee-deep trouble 

Prostitute yourself he says 

Castrate your human pride 

Sacrifice your leisure days 

Let me squeeze you till you've dried 

Don't look back 

Don't look back 

It's a rip-off 

Work my fingers to my bones 

I scream with pain 

I still make no impression 

Seduce you with his money-make machine 

Cross-collateralize, (big-time money, money) 

Reduce you to a muzak-fake machine 

Then the last goodbye 

It's a rip-off 

Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby 

Blow him a kiss and you're mad 

Flick of the wrist - he'll eat your heart out 

A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head 

He's taken an arm, and taken a leg 

All this time honey 

Baby you've been had.

Lily of the Valley.

(Mercury)

I am forever searching high and low 

But why does everybody tell me no 

Neptune of the seas 

Have you an answer for me please 

And the lily of the valley doesn't know 

I lie in wait with open eyes 

I carry on through stormy skies 

I follow every course 

My kingdom for a horse 

But each time I grow old 

Serpent of the Nile 

Relieve me for a while 

And cast me from your spell and let me go 

Messenger from Seven Seas has flown 

To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne 

Wars will never cease 

Is there time enough for peace 

But the lily of the valley doesn't know.

Now I'm Here.

(May)

Here I stand 

Look around around around 

But you won't see me 

Now I'm here, Now I'm there, I'm just a... 

Just a new man 

Yes you made me live again 

A baby I was when you took my hand 

And the light of the night burned bright 

And the people all stared didn't understand 

But you knew my name on sight 

Whatever came of you and me 

America's new bride to be - don't worry baby I'm safe and sound 

Down in the dungeon just Peaches 'n' me 

Don't I love her so 

A thin moon me in a smoke-screen sky 

Where the beams of your lovelight chase 

Don't move, don't speak, don't feel no pain 

With a rain running down my face 

Your matches still light up the sky 

And many a tear lives on in my eye 

Down in the city just Hoople 'n' me 

Don't I love him so 

Whatever comes of you and me 

I love to leave my memory with you 

Now I'm here 

Think I'll stay around around around 

We'll be down in the city justa you 'n' me 

Don't I love you so.

In the Lap of the Gods.

(Mercury)

I live my life for you 

Think all my thoughts with you, 

Anything you ask I do, for you 

And only you 

I touch your lips with mine 

But in the end 

I leave it to the lords 

Leave it in the lap of the Gods 

What more can I do 

Leave it in the lap of the Gods 

I leave it to you 

Leave it in the lap of the Gods 

Leave it in the lap of the Gods 

I want you to 

Leave it in the lap of the Gods

Lap of the Gods.

Stone Cold Crazy.

(Deacon/May/Mercury/Taylor)

Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning I was dreaming 

I was Al Capone 

There's a rumour going round, gotta clear outa town 

I'm smelling like a dry fish bone 

Here come the Law, gonna break down the door, gonna carry me 

Away once more 

Never, never, never get it any more 

Gotta get away from this stone cold floor 

Crazy 

Stone cold crazy, you know 

Rainy afternoon I gotta blow a typhoon and I'm playing on 

My slide trombone 

Anymore, anymore, cannot take it anymore 

Gotta get away from this stone cold floor 

Crazy 

Stone cold crazy, you know 

Walking down the street, shooting people that I meet with 

My rubber tommy water gun 

Here come the deputy, he's gonna come and getta me 

I gotta get me get up and run 

They got the sirens loose 

I ran outa juice 

They're gonna put me in a cell, if I can't go to heaven 

Will they let me go to hell 

Crazy 

Stone cold crazy, you know.

Dear Friends.

(May)

So dear friends your love has gone 

Only tears to dwell upon 

I dare not say as the wind must blow 

So a love is lost, a love is won 

Go to sleep and dream again 

Soon your hopes will rise and then 

From all this gloom life can start anew 

And there'll be no crying soon.

Misfire.

(Deacon)

Don't you misfire 

Fill me up 

With the desire 

To carry on 

Don't you know honey, that love's a game 

It's always hit or miss, so take your aim 

Got to hold on tight, shoot me out of sight 

Don't you misfire... 

Don't you misfire... 

Your gun is loaded, and pointing my way 

There's only one bullet, so don't delay 

Got to time it right, fire me through the night 

Come on, take a shot 

Fire me higher 

Don't you miss this time 

Please don't misfire, misfire.

Bring Back That Leroy Brown.

(Mercury)

Bring back, bring back 

Bring back that Leroy Brown - yeah 

Bring back, bring back 

Gotta bring that Leroy Brown - back.

She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes).

(May)

I love 

She makes me 

She is my heart 

She is my love 

I know 

I'm jealous of her 

She makes me need 

She is my love 

Who knows who she'll make me 

As I lie in her cocoon 

And the world will surely heal my ills 

I'm warm and terrified 

She makes me so 

I know the day I leave her 

I'll love her still 

She is my love 

She is my love 

She knows where my dreams will end 

I'll follow as they grow 

But the world will know how long I'll take 

And if I'm very slow she makes me so 

She is my love.

In the Lap of the Gods Revisited.

(Mercury)

It's so easy, but I can't do it 

So risky - But I gotta chance it 

It's so funny, there's nothing to laugh about 

My money, that's all you wanna talk about 

I can see what you want me to be 

But I'm no fool 

It's in the lap of the Gods 

I can see what you want me to be 

But I'm no fool 

No beginning, there's no ending 

There's no meaning in my pretending 

Believe me, life goes on and on and on 

Forgive me when I ask you where do I belong 

You say I can't set you free from me 

But that's not true 

It's in the lap of the Gods 

I can see what you want me to be 

But I'm no fool 

It's in the lap of the Gods 

Wo wo la la la wo 

Wo wo la la 

Wah wah ooh 

But that's not true.
