[Intro]

[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love

[Verse 1]
You take my body, I give you heat
You say you're hungry, I give you meat
I suck your mind, you blow my head
Make love (Make love) inside your bed
Everybody get down, make love

[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love

[Bridge]
Every time I get hot
You wanna cool down
Every time I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's too much
Every time I get a
Get down, get down
Get down, make love

[Verse 2]
(Get down) I can squeeze
(Make love) you can shake me
(Get down) I can feel
(Make love) when you break me
(Get down) Come on so heavy (make love)
(Get down) when you take me
(Make love) You make love
You make love
(Get down) you make love
You make love
(Make love) You can make everybody

[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love

[Bridge]
Every time I get high
You wanna come down
Every time I get hot
You say you want to cool down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's too much
Every time I wanna
Get down, get down, get down

[Instrumental break]
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Aah!

[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love

[Bridge]
Every time I get hot
You wanna cool down
Every time I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's just too much
Every time I wanna
Get down, get down
Get down, make love

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.
