[Intro]
Oooh yeah

[Verse 1]
Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beating baby
Got my timing right
I got my act all tight
It's got to be tonight
My little school babe
Your momma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boiling up inside
No way I'm going to lose out this time

[Chorus]
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosing around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

[Verse 2]
You're such a dirty louse
Go get out of my house
That's all I ever get from you
Ain't your family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word
From those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm going to make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Snipin' and grousin' goin' on

[Chorus]
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Send your brother swimming with a brick
That's alright
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
She ain't no friend of mine
She ain't no friend of mine

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Your momma and your daddy going to
Plague me until I die
Why can't they understand I'm just a
Peace loving guy

[Chorus]
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Get that big, big, big, big, big, big
Daddy out the door
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
All your love tonight

[Outro]
All your love tonight
All your love tonight
All your love tonight
Hey!
All your love tonight
Give me those cymbals!

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Freddie Mercury]
Hello again, my beauties!
Is it happening?
Is everything okay?
Wanna fool around?

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.
