Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics

[Intro: Simon]
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

[Verse 1: Simon]
Mama, ooh
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

[Verse 2: Simon]
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Simon]
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Never, never, never, never let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!

[Verse 4: Simon]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

[Guitar Solo]
[Outro: Simon]
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows

What did The Wiggles say about "Bohemian Rhapsody"?
Genius Answer

I first heard ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ as a child while at a friend’s place. We were racing remote control cars and I literally stopped in my tracks and listened to the song. I was mesmerised by it. I’d found a love for opera at a young age, and this song was like nothing I’d ever heard before with its epic sound, harmonies and crazy mix of rock and opera. I saved up my pocket money, bought the album and listened to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ every day for months. We decided not to recreate Queen’s version, but to find our own way of doing it musically and vocally. We used different instrumentation and I tried to make the vocals playful, using my whole vocal range—which was a stretch. Freddie really was one of a kind. I feel like we managed to ‘ReWiggle’ it in a way that pays tribute to the original while giving it our own touch.
