Letra de
Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy

Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy fue compuesta por Freddie Mercury para el álbum de 1976 de Queen, A Day at the Races. Refleja la sofisticación y el encanto de los encuentros románticos, arraigada en el estilo musical de cabaret. La personalidad extravagante de Mercury se captura en la letra y el arreglo musical, una mezcla de pop, rock y un toque de música clásica.

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.

Ooh, love, ooh, lo-ver boy, what're doing tonight, hey boy?
Set my alarm, turn on my charm,
That's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy.

Ooh, let me feel your heartbeat, (grow fast-er, fast-er),
Ooh, 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.

Ooh, love, ooh, lo-ver boy, what're 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 those long hot summer nights), I miss you.
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 o'clock),
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)

Ooh, love, ooh, lo-ver boy, what're doing tonight, hey boy?
Everything's all right, just hold on tight,
That's because I'm a good old fashioned lover boy.
