Happy little day, Jimmy went away
Met his little Jenny on a public holiday
A happy pair they made, so decorously laid
'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade
"It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air
I'll weave my spell"
"Jenny will you stay - tarry with me pray
Nothing 'ere need come between us tell me love, what
do you say"
"Oh no I must away to my Mum in disarray
If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday
It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air
I'll say farewell"
O Rock of Ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still
O Lady Moon, shine down a little people magic if you will
♣[Brian May's long shredding guitar solo]♣
Jenny pines away, writes a letter everyday
"We must ever be together, nothing can my love erase"
"Oh no I'm compromised, I must apologize
If my lady should discover how I spent my holidays..."

♪ Song fact: A Brian May composition, "Brighton Rock" features his unique guitar sound layered with multiple echoes and the full vocal range of lead singer Freddie Mercury. In concert, he would use the song as a vehicle for launching into long, crowd-pleasing guitar solos. Brian May remained proud of "Brighton Rock," with his guitar solos into the '10s building on the song as a foundation. His introduction to Queen's performance with Jessie J at the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony featured him performing a version of the "Brighton Rock" solo in the Olympic Stadium - complete with "Save the Badgers" attire.
