[Intro: Freddie Mercury]
Here we go, yeah!
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury & Brian May]
Hey, I'm the hitman, stand aside
I'm the hitman, I want your life
Ain't no escapin', don't run and hide
There goes the neighborhood
(I'm gonna kill for your love)
That's right!
[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury & Freddie Mercury & Brian May]
