[Verse 1]
Hey, I'm gonna take a little
Walk on the wild side
I'm gonna loosen up and get me some gas
I'm gonna get me some action
Go crazy, driving in the fast lane
My baby left me alone
She done me dirty and I'm feeling so lonely

[Pre-Chorus]
So come home, come home
If you don't you're gonna
Break my heart

[Chorus]
Man on the prowl
You better watch out
I am on the loose and I am
Looking for trouble
So look out, look out
I'm a man on the prowl

[Verse 2]
I don't want to be a rock and roll steady
I just want to be low down trash
I wanna go to the movies
All I wanna do is sit on my ass
So honey, come home
Don't leave me when I am
Feeling so lonely

[Pre-Chorus]
Come home, come home
If you don't you are going
To break my heart

[Chorus]
Man on the prowl
You better watch out
I'm on the loose and I'm
Looking for trouble
So look out, look out
'Cause I'm a man on the prowl

[Bridge]
Well, I keep dreaming about my baby
But it ain't gonna get me nowhere
I gotta teach my baby dancing
But I am not Fred Astaire

[Outro]
So baby look out
I am a man on the prowl
Look out
Man on the prowl, yeah, yeah
Baby, baby, baby look out
Man on the prowl
Baby come home
I am on the loose and I'm
Looking for trouble
Baby come home, oh yeah
'Cause I am a man on the prowl
So honey come home, come home
'Cause I am a man on the prowl, yeah
Man on the prowl, yeah, hey
Steady there
Loosen up, whoo!

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.
