Off the 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack Though not released as a single, “Stone Cold Crazy” was in heavy rotation in Queen concerts during the 1970s.

[Guitar Intro]
[Verse 1]
Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning
I was dreaming I was Al Capone
There's a rumour going round
Gotta clear out of town
Yeah, I'm smelling like a dry fish bone
Here come the law
Gonna break down the door
Gonna carry me away once more
Never, never, never get it any more
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
[Chorus]
Crazy (stone cold crazy, you know)
Woo! Aw!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Rainy afternoon, I gotta blow a typhoon
And I'm playing on my slide trombone
Anymore, anymore, cannot take it anymore
Gotta get away from this stone cold floor
[Chorus]
Crazy (stone cold crazy, aw! You know)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Walking down the street, shooting people that I meet
With my rubber tommy water gun
Here come the deputy
He's gonna come and getta me
I gotta get me get up and run
They got the sirens loose
I ran right outta juice
They're going to put me in a cell
If I can't go to heaven
Will they let me go to hell?
[Chorus]
Crazy (stone cold crazy, you know)
[Outro]
Ow!
