[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, four
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
We're gonna tear it up!

[Chorus]
Tear it up, stir it up
Break it up, baby
Tear it up, shake it up
Make it up as you go along
Tear it up, square it up
Wake it up, baby
Tear it up, stir it up
Stake it out, and you can't go wrong
Hey!

[Verse 1]
Give me your time, baby
Give me your body
Give me some time, baby
Let's have a party
It ain't no time for sleepin', baby
Soon it's round your street I'm creeping
You better be ready

[Chorus]
We're gonna tear it up, stir it up
Break it up, baby
Tear it up, shake it up
Make it up as you go along
Tear it up, square it up
Wake it up, baby
Tear it up, stir it up
Stake it out, and you can't go wrong
Hey!

[Verse 2]
I love you 'cause you're sweet
And I love you 'cause you're naughty
Give me some time
Baby, give me that body
Ooh, I wanna be a toy
At your birthday party
Wind me up, wind me up
Wind me up, let me go

[Chorus]
Tear it up, stir it up
Break it up, let me go
Tear it up, shake it up
Make it up as you go along
Tear it up, stir it up
Break it up, baby

[Outro]
Oh yeah!
Baby, baby
Are you ready for me? (Oh yeah!)
Baby, baby, baby
Are you ready for love? (Oh yeah!)
I love you so near, I love you so far
I gotta tell you
You're driving me ga ga

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.
