[Intro]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Get your party gown, get your pigtail down
Get your heart beating, baby
Got my timing right, got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight
My little school babe
Your momma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boiling up inside
There is no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Oh, no

[Chorus]
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosing around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

[Verse 2]
"You're such a dirty louse
Go get out of my house"
That's all I ever get from your
Your family ties, in fact
I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart in hand
To put a stop to all that
Snipin' and grousin' goin' on all night

[Chorus]
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Send your little brother
Swimming with a brick, that's alright
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine

[Guitar Solo]
Bad guy

[Verse 3]
Your mommy and your daddy
Are gonna plague me till I die
They can't understand it
I'm just a peace loving guy

[Chorus]
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big, big, big, big, big
Big daddy out the door
Tie your mother down
Yeah, tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight

[Outro]
Give me every inch of your love
Gotta get my timing right
All your love tonight, yeah
All your love
Tonight

Queen

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
