[Intro]
We had a good night jamming away
There was a full moon showing
And we started to play
But in the cold light of day next morning
The party was over, uh uh
The party was over
We got love and we got style
And we got sex and I know
I know we got what it takes
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa!
Why don't you come back and play?

[Verse 1]
Come back and play (hey hey)
Come back and play
We got all night, all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come back and play
Come back and play
Come back and play, come back and play
Play, play it, play it
Go get 'em boy, let's party
Yeah

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Give it give it
We had a food fight in somebody's face
We were up all night singing (singing)
And giving a chase
But in the cold light of day next morning
Everybody was hung over

[Verse 2]
Hey, come back and play
(Come back and play)
Come back and play
We got all night, all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come
Back and play (and play)
Come back and play
We got all night we got all day
We got all night and day
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, back and play!

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
The party is over

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.
