What planet is this, mmmh ?
Let there be rock n roll
It's a Saturday night and I'm home alone
With the music on quiet I'm flying solo
Then my feet start moving to the sound of the beat
Put the music up loud hear it in the street
Then the neighbours start banging on my front door
Throw the door wide open saying what's your point
Come on in let's rock this joint
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
To the mighty power of rock n roll
We dance out of the door, dance into the street
And all the people are swaying to the musical beat
We rock down the road and down to the town
And all the people stare and smile and get down
Then the police man is saying "stop this noise"
But the beat takes over now he's one of the boys
The beat's taken over now he's one of the boys
Come on down let's rock this town
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
Let's Go
Let it roll
Are you ready?
Said are you ready?
The cosmos rocks
Across seven seas through the Panama,
Now they're rockin' on beaches and they're rockin' in bars
Don't ask me how and don't ask me why
From Miami Beach down to old Bondi
There's a rock n roll fever in every place
Next thing you know they'll be rockin' out in space
Come on down let's rock this place
Come on down and
Sock it to me
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
To the mighty mighty mighty power
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the universe rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
To the might power of rock n roll!!!!
It amazes me that people are actually surprised at these lyrics. You would think that there had never been any bad lyrics in Queen songs before.

Headlong:
Hey he used to be a man with a stick in his hand
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do
She used to be a woman with a hot dog stand
Hoop diddy diddy - hoop diddy do
Now you've got soup in the laundry bag
Now you've got strings you're gonna lose your rag
You're getting in a fight
Then it ain't so groovy when you're screaming in the night
Let me out of this cheap B movie

Tear It Up:
We gonna Tear it up
Stir it up
Break it up - baby
You gonna Tear it up
Shake it up
Make it up - as you go along

Bwahahaha! Quality! In fact, this would have fit nicely with that fucking Conway Twitty (Twatty!) thing Brian impposed in us.
You know, they're great Rock lyrics - you can just imagine Kiss belting that out and throwing shapes all over the place.
But if they DO appear on the Q+PR album, I will return it from whence it came.
Hail Hail Rock And Roll!!!!
Now that we all have heard it on BBC (those who haven't, check it out on YouTube), let's face it... It doesn't sound half as lame as it first looked when the lyrics were out.
The song reminds me a lot of AC/DC, but with something Queen-ish (mostly like Brian's hard rock tracks) about the guitars and the chorus.
