Queen - Great King Rat (De Lane Lea Demo / December 1971)

Great King Rat died today Born on the twenty-first of May Died syphilis forty four on his birthday Every second word he swore Yes, he was the son of a whore Always wanted by the law Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he What did I tell you Would you like to see? Listen Where will I be tomorrow? Will I beg or will I borrow? I don't care, anyway Come on, come on, the time is right The man is evil and that is right I told you, ah yes, I told you And that's no lie, oh, no, no Wouldn't you like to know? Wouldn't you like to know, people? Great King Rat was a dirty old man And a dirty old man was he What did I tell you Would you like to see? Now Wouldn't you like to know?
