Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy

The song begins with a piano and vocal introduction by Mercury, then continues, with the bass and drums adding on, at the start of the chorus. The second verse is sung, followed by another chorus. At this point, the drums, bass and guitar drop out, which then leads into the bridge, sung by Mercury and Mike Stone ("Hey boy where'd you get it from, hey boy where did you go?"). Following the Brian May guitar solo, another verse is sung, and then the chorus ends the track. The song describes how "a good old-fashioned lover boy" is looking forward to a night of revelry and romance. ==Live performances and other appearances==
