[Intro]
Here we go
Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1]
Hey, I'm the hitman, stand aside
I'm the hitman, I want your life
Ain't no escaping, don't run and hide
There goes the neighborhood
(I'm gonna kill for your love)
That's right!

[Chorus]
Hitman, now don't you cry
I'm just it man and you might get fried
Gun in my pocket, don't get me wrong
I'll be your hitman
I'm a fool for your love
I'm a head shredder
That's better!

[Verse 2]
Baby, baby, baby, I'm a hitman
Hitman, hitman (Yeah!)
Yeah, trouble in the East
Trouble in the West
Struggle with the beast
What a thief, what a pest
Come back mother
Nuke that sucker
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Who knows what I'm talking about?

[Guitar Solo]
Waste that brother
All right, ooh!
That's the way to do it, ah-ha!

[Verse 3]
I'm the hitman, I'm your prize
But this hitman
Can cut you down to size
Love me (baby), don't be so cool
Love me, love me, baby
I've been to the hitman school
Yeah, yeah!
You're gonna make my day
Gonna blow you away

[Outro]
When the fun begins
(Hitman) Are you ready for the sting?
Gonna waste that thing
(Hitman) Hitman is king
Go, go, yeah, hitman, hitman
Oh yeah, ow!

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.
