Killer Queen is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by lead singer Freddie Mercury and recorded for their third album Sheer Heart Attack in 1974. It reached number two in the UK Singles Chart and became their first US hit, reaching number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is about a high-class call girl and has been characterised as "Mercury's piano-led paean to a Moët-quaffing courtesan".

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
She keeps 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, ooh)
At anytime, an invitation you can't decline (Ooh, ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Caviar and cigarettes
Well-versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

[Chorus]
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
(Pa-pa-pa-pa) Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Anytime) Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

[Verse 2]
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 (Killer)
Then again incidentally (Killer)
If you're that way inclined (She's a killer queen)

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

[Chorus]
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
(Pa-pa-pa-pa) Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Anytime)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Drop of a hat, she's as willing as
Playful as a pussycat
(Ooh) Then momentarily out of action
(Ooh) Temporarily out of gas (Ooh, da-da)
To absolutely drive (Drive you wild)
(Wild) She's out to get you

[Chorus]
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
(Pa-pa-pa-pa) Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Anytime) Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
[Outro]
You wanna try?
