Queen Talks

Freddie Mercury: "It’s called 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy', and it’s in my ‘ragtime’ mood that I get a chance to, [Laughs] to do on every album and this time, this is something I’ve come up with this time around."

Kenny Everett: "Right, a little frilly number from the pen of Fred."

Lyrics

I can dim the lights
And sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play
On your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you

Oooh love oooh lover boy
What are doing tonight hey boy?
Set my alarm turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy

Oooh let me feel you heartbeat
(Grow faster faster)
Oooh can you feel my love heat
Come on and sit on my hot seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing
Say the word your wish is my command

Oooh love oooh lover boy
What are doing tonight hey boy?
Write my letter feel much better
And use my fancy patter on the telephone

When I'm not with you
Think of you always I miss you
(I miss those long hot summer nights)
When I'm not with you
Think of me always I love you love you
Hey boy where did you get it from?
Hey boy where did you go?
I learned my passion
In the good old fashioned school of lover boys

Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine precisely
(One two three four five six seven eight nine)
I will pay the bill you taste the wine
Driving back in style in my saloon will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours that will be fine
(Come on and get it)
Oooh love oooh lover boy
What are you doing tonight hey boy?
Everything's all right just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy
