I would like to say hello
Are you ready for some entertainment
Are you ready for a show
Gonna rock you, gonna roll you
Get you dancing in the aisles
Jazz you razzamatazz you
With a little bit of style
Let me entertain you, yeah
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you, alright
I’ve come here to sell you my body
I can show you some good merchandise
I’ll pull you and I’ll pill you
I’ll Cruella De Vil you
And to thrill you I’ll use any device
We’ll give you crazy performance
We’ll give you grounds for divorce
We’ll give you piece de resistance
And a tour de force
Of course
We found the right location
Got a lot of pretty lights
Sound and amplification, listen
If you need a fix

If you dig the New York scene
We’ll have a son of a bitch of a time
Let me entertain
Let me entertain
Let me entertain you
Tonight
Hey
Freddie: Thank you
Freddie: This next song is from A Night At The Opera. This is about a <bleeped out>, we call him Death On Two Legs, hey, hey, hey
Alright
You suck my blood like a leach
You break the law and you breach
You cool my brain till it hurts
All my money, and you want more
Misguided old mule
With your pigheaded rules
And your narrow-minded cronies who are fools of the first division
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You never had a heart of your own
Kill joy, bad guy
Big talking, small fry
You're just an old barrow boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me
Can you face me
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good, are you satisfied
Do you feel like suicide
Is your conscience alright
Does it plague you at night
Do you feel good, I feel good, yeah
Hey
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
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
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
Want to ride my
Want to ride my bicycle
Want to ride my bike
Want to ride my bicycle
Want to ride it where I like
You say black, I say white
You say bark, I say bite
You say shark, I say hey man
Jaws was never my scene
I don’t like Star Wars
You say Rolls, I say Royce
You say God, give me a choice
You say Lord, I say Christ
I don’t believe in Peter Pan
Frankenstein or Superman
All I wanna do is
Want to ride my
Want to ride my bicycle
Want to ride my bike
Want to ride my bicycle
Want to ride my
Bicycle races are coming your way
So forget all your duties oh yeah
Fat bottomed girls they’ll be riding today
So look out for those beauties oh yeah
On your marks
Get set
Go
Freddie: Yeah
Ahhhhh
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumping, and the hub-caps all gleam
When I’m holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
Your hand on the grease gun
Oh, it’s like a disease son
I’m in love with my car (oh yeah)
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
Told my girl I’d have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor
So she made tracks saying this is the end now
Cars don’t talk back they’re just four wheeled friends now
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
You take my body — I give you heat
You say you hungry — I give you meat
I suck your mind — you blow my head
Make love inside your bed
Everybody get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Everytime I get high — you wanna come down
Everytime I get high — you say you wanna cool down
You say it’s enough — in fact it’s too much
Everytime I wanna
Get down, get down, get down
(Vocal improvisation by Freddie)
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Everytime I get hot — you wanna come down
Everytime I get high — you say you wanna cool down
You say it’s enough — in fact it’s too much
Everytime I wanna get down, get down, get down, make love
Oooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It’s you, you’re all that I see
Oooh, you make me live now honey
Oooh, you make me live
Oooh, you’re the best friend that I ever had
I’ve been with you such a long time
You’re my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you’re my best friend
Oooh, you make me live
Oh, I’ve been wondering round
Still come back to you
In rain or shine
You’ve stood by me girl
Happy at home, happy at home
You’re my best friend
Oooh, you make me live
Come on, yeah
Happy at home
You’re my best friend
Oh, oh, you’re my best friend
Oooh, you’re my best friend

Just a new man

Alright, let’s go
Yeah
A baby I was when you took my hand
The light of the night burned bright
The people all stared didn’t understand
But you knew my name on sight
Oooh, whatever came of you and me
America’s new bride to be
Don’t worry babe I’m safe and sound
Down in the dungeon just Peaches ’n’ me
Don’t I love you so
Yes, you’ve made me live again
Alright, come on
Yeah
Ooh, a thin moon me in a smoke screen sky
Beams of your lovelight chase
Don’t move, don’t speak, don’t feel no pain
With rain running down my face
Your matches still light up the sky
Many a tear lives on in my eye
Down in the city just Hoople ’n’ me
Rock it

Rock and roll

Freddie: Maybe you should do something like this, huh?. Alright, that’s good. Merci beaucoup. Alright, nice and easy does it, baby
Oooh, yeah, nice, ahhhh
I used to be your baby
Used to be your pride and joy
Used to take me dancing
Just like any other boy
But now you’ve found another partner
You left me like a broken toy
Sure did
Well, it’s someone else you’re taking
Someone else you’re playing to, yeah
Honey, though I’m aching
Know just what I have to do, right
If I can’t have you when I’m waking
I’ll go to sleep and dream I’m with you
That’s right, that’s right
Oh, take me, take me
Take me to the dreamer’s ball
I’ll be right on time (yeah)
And I’ll dress so fine (oh yeah)
You’re gonna love me when you see me
I won’t have to worry
Take me, take me
Promise not to wake me ’til it’s morning
And it’s all been through, yeah
Hey
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Right down that 42nd street
Way down, down, downtown dreamer’s town
So, take me, take me
Take me I’m your play thing now, sure
You make my life worthwhile
With the slightest smile
You destroy me with the barely
Perceptible whisper
Gently take me
Remember I’ll be dreaming of my baby
At the dreamer’s ball
So take me to the dreamer’s ball, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Freddie: The things you have to do for money, ha, ha, ha. This is now a, this next song is turned into a duet, because that’s the way we like it, I think. We’d like everybody to join in, this is a song called Love Of My Life
Oooh
Oooh yeah, yeah
Love of my life you’ve hurt me
You’ve broken my heart, now you leave me
Love of my life can’t you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know
What it means to me
Beautiful
Love of my life don’t leave me
You’ve stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life can’t you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know
What it means to me
You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything’s all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you, I still love you
Hurry back, hurry back
Don’t take it away from me
Because you don’t know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you
Brian: Thank you very much. Hey, you’re good singers, pretty good. You wanna sing some more? Well. I’d like to welcome back to the stage the rest of the Queen group. On drums and a, tiger skin trousers, Mr. Roger Taylor. And on dazzling tie and bass guitar, Mr. John Deacon. And on maracas and sometimes vocals, Mr. Freddie Mercury. How about that?

«'39» — 3:26 (Брайан Мэй)
Alright
In the year of ’39 assembled here the volunteers
In the days when the lands were few
And the ship sailed out into the blue and misty morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For so many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne’er looked back, never feared, never cried
Don’t you hear my call though you’re many years away
Don’t you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
In the year of ’39 a simple ship came from the blue
Volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news from a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
Now the earth is old and grey, to a knew home we’ll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone now I’m older but a year
Your mothers eyes in your eyes cry to me
Don’t you hear my call though you’re many years away
Don’t you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
Don’t you hear my call though you’re many years away
Don’t you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead pity me
Oh, oh, ohh
Ow
Freddie: Yeah, everybody — come on, clap your hands, do it
Keep yourself

Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself
Keep yourself
Keep yourself alive, oh yeah
Alright
Everybody

Ooh yeah
Everybody
Keep yourself alive
Go, go
I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way
Might he grow a little wiser, little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, and I rode a million miles
Still be where I started, bread and butter for a smile
Sold a million mirrors in a shop in alley way
But I never saw my face in any window any day
Now they say your folks are telling you be a superstar
Tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Do it, yeah, yeah
Alright, go, go, go
Well I loved a million women in a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners brought to me on silver trays
Give me everything I need to feed my body and my soul
Grow a little bigger, maybe that can be my goal
Told a million times of all the people in my way
How I’d have to keep on trying and get better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers, rode a million miles
Still be where I started, same as when I started
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Shake it
Yeah
Come on
Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Do you think you’re better every day
No, I just think I’m two steps nearer to my grave
Come on and keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive, keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive, come on, come on, keep yourself alive
Come on and get it, get it, get it boy
Keep yourself alive

Floating around in ecstasy

I’m a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva

Like an atom bomb about to oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode
Burning through the sky, yeah
200 degrees that’s why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit
Travelling at the speed of light

Freddie: This is called Spread Your Wings
Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
He knew it was time
He’d made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind
His boss said to him
Boy you’d better begin
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy, who do you think that you are?
You should’ve been sweeping up the Emerald Bar
Spread your wings and fly away, sing it
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Far away, far away
Pull yourself together
’Cos you know you should do better
That’s because you’re a free man
He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
Keeping his thoughts to himself, he’d be leaving soon
Wishing he was miles and miles and miles away
Nothing in this world, nothing, could make him stay
Since he was small
He had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He’d made up his mind
This could be my last chance
His boss said to him
Now listen boy
You’re always dreaming
You’ve got no real ambition, you won’t get very far
Sammy who, who do you think you are?
You should have been sweeping up the Emerald Bar
So honey (spread your wings), come on (and fly away), that’s good
Fly away, far away (far away)
Oh, spread your little wings and fly away
(Fly away, far away)
Ooh, pull yourself together
’Cos you know
You know you know you know
You know should do better
That’s because you’re a free man
So come on honey, come on
