Killer Queen
Original Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She keeps moet and chandon in her pretty cabinet
'let them eat cake' she says
Just like marie antoinette
A built in remedy for khrushchev and kennedy
And anytime an invitation you can decline
Caviar and cigarettes well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a lazer beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite want to try?

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
Then again incidentally if you're that way inclined (she's a
Killer queen)
Perfume came naturally from paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatine
Dynamite with a lazer beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite want to try?

Drop of a hat she's as willing as a playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild - wild
She's out to get you

She's a killer queen gunpowder gelatin
Dynamite with a lazer beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite want to try?

Overall Meaning

The song Killer Queen by The Original Cast describes a woman who is glamorous, elusive, and deadly, much like a queen bee. The woman is depicted as having an insatiable appetite for pleasure, which she fulfills by indulging in luxury goods like Moet and Chandon, caviar, and cigarettes. She is clever enough to never keep the same address, ensuring that she doesn't get involved in any complications.


The chorus compares the woman to gunpowder, gelatine, and a dynamite with a lazer beam, suggesting that she is explosive and dangerous. She is described as being willing and playful like a cat, but can also be out of action at times. Despite this, the woman is still out to get her prey.


Overall, the song is a commentary on how power can corrupt and lead to destructive behavior. The Killer Queen is the embodiment of the dangers of excessive indulgence and the need for control.
