[Intro]

[Verse 1]
If you’re feeling tired and lonely
Uninspired and lonely
If you’re thinking how
The days seem long
All you’re given
Is what you’ve been given
A thousand times before

[Chorus]
It's just more, more
More of that jazz
More, no more
Of that jazz
Gimme no more, no more
Of that jazz

[Verse 2]
Only football gives us thrills
Rock'n'roll just pays the bills
Only our team is the real team
Bring out the dogs
Get on your feet, lay on the floor
Can’t help thinking
I’ve heard that line before

[Chorus]
It's just more, more, more
Of that jazz
More, no more
Of that jazz
Gimme no more, no more
Of that jazz

[Bridge]
Oh, no matter
Fool got no business
Hanging 'round and tellin' lies
Bicycle races are coming your way
If you can’t beat ‘em join them
Fun it
Oh, you’re gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make
The rocking world go round

[Outro]
No more, no more, no more (oh)
Of that jazz

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.
