[Intro]
Hey, hey
You know what song
Get in the groove, babe

[Verse 1]
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & (Audience)]
Yeah, yeah, sing it!
(Another one bites the dust)
One more!
(Another one bites the dust)
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

[Verse 2]
How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & (Audience)]
Another one bites the dust
(Another one bites the dust)
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust

[Audience Cheering]

[Bridge]
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Yeah, hey-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay-yay

[Verse 3]
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad
And leave him when he's down, yeah
Yes I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, hey
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotcha!

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
You know something? There's been a lot of rumors lately... about a certain band called Queen. Rumors are that uh... the rumors are that we're going to split up. What do you think?

[Audience]
No!

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
They're talking from here

[Audience Applauds]

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
My apologies, but I say what I want. You know what I mean? So forget those rumors. We're going to stay together until we fucking well die. I'm sure of it

[Audience Applauds]

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
I keep-- I must tell you. I keep wanting to leave, but they won't let me. Also, I suppose-- we're not bad for four raging queens, are we, really? What do you think?

[Audience Cheers]

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.
