[Intro]
Hey, it's a sellout!
Hey!

[Verse 1]
Let me welcome you
Ladies and gentlemen
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

[Chorus]
C'mon, let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you

[Bridge]
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 DeVille you
And to thrill you, I'll use any device
Ah, ha ha ha ha
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!

[Verse 2]
We found the right location
Got a lot of pretty lights
The sound and amplification, listen
Hey, if you need a fix, if you want a high
Stickells'll see to that
With Elektra and EMI
We'll show you where it's at

[Chorus]
So c'mon, let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Just take a look at the menu
We give you rock a la carte
We'll breakfast at Tiffany's
We'll sing to you in Japanese
We're only here to entertain you

[Verse 3]
If you wanna see some action
You get nothing but the best
The S and M attraction
We've got the pleasure chest
Chicago down to New Orleans
We get you on the line
If you dig the New York scene
We'll have a son-of-a-bitch-of-a-time

[Outro]
Come on, let me entertain
Let me entertain
Let me entertain you
Through the night

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.
