From the 'Sheer Heart Attack' album, 1974. Written by Freddie Mercury.
Killer Queen was the band's first international hit. It is one of the few songs by Mercury for which he wrote the lyrics first. The band initially did the song without Brian May while he was in the hospital, leaving spaces for whenever he felt better.
Lyrics:
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake", she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
~Chorus:
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder and turpentine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (Anytime)
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minor
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
~Chorus:
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder and turpentine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (Anytime)
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild...
She's all out to get you
~Chorus:
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder and turpentine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (Anytime)
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try...
