[Intro]
Ooh, yeah
Ha, baby

[Verse 1]
Take me to the room
Where the red's all red
Take me out of my head
Is what I said, yeah, ow!
Hey, take me to the room
Where the green's all green
And from what I've seen
It's hot, it's-a mean, ay

[Chorus]
I'm gonna use my stack
It's gotta be Mack
Gonna get me on the track
Got a dragon on my back

[Verse 2]
Take me to the room
Where the beat's all round
Gonna eat that sound
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take me to the room
Where the black's all white
And the white's all black
Take me back to the shack (shack)

[Chorus]
She don't take no prisoners
She gonna give me the business
Got a dragon on my back
Hey, it's a dragon attack

[Bridge]
Get down
Nice and slow
Hey, hey!
Alright, yeah!

[Outro]
Low down, she don't take no prisoners
Go down, gonna give me the business
No time, yeah chained to the rack!
Showtime, got a dragon on my back
Showdown, go find another customer
Slow down, I got to make my way
Oh, on my way, yeah
On my way, hey, alright

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.
