Killer Queen Lyrics

[Intro: All]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam

[Verse 1: Luke, All]
She keeps a Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake," she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy (Ooh)
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

[Chorus: All, Luke]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Anytime
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite

Wanna try?
[Verse 2: Luke, All]
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China (Ooh)
Went down to Geisha Minah (Killer, killer)
Then again incidentally (She's a killer queen)
If you're that way inclined

[Pre-Chorus: Luke, All]
Perfume came naturally from Paris (Naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

[Chorus: All, Luke]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Anytime

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Luke, All]
Drop of a hat, she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat (Ooh)
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas (Ooh)
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's all out to get you
[Chorus: All, Luke]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Anytime
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite

Wanna try?

[Outro: Luke]
You wanna try

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
