“Killer Queen” Lyrics 
 

She keeps her Moet et Chandon 

In her pretty cabinet 

"Let them eat cake", she says 

Just like Marie Antoinette 

A built-in remedy 

For Khrushchev and Kennedy 

At any time an invitation 

You can't decline 

  

Caviar and cigarettes 

Well versed in etiquette 

Extraordinarily nice 

  

She's a Killer Queen 

Gunpowder, gelatine 

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 Minah 

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 

 

She's a Killer Queen 

Gunpowder, gelatine 

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 

  

She's a Killer Queen 

Gunpowder, gelatine 

Dynamite with a laser beam 

Guaranteed to blow your mind 

Anytime 

  

Recommended at the price 

Insatiable an appetite 

Wanna try? 

You wanna try
