Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world I'll turn it inside out, yeah!
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time
I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me
I'm burning through the sky, yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes, I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all
Yeah, I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite, I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode
I'm burning through the sky, yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Don't stop me, hey, hey, hey!
Don't stop me don't stop me
Ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Have a good time, good time
Don't stop me, don't stop me ah
Oh yeah!
Alright
I'm burning through the sky, yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball,
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time (wooh)
Just give me a call (alright)
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes, I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all
La da da da daah
Da da da haa
Ha da da ha ha haaa
Ha da daa ha da da aaa
Ooh ooh ooh

♪ Song fact: Freddie Mercury wrote this song - both words and music - in Montreux, Switzerland. It finds him feeling unstoppable: he's "floating around in ecstasy," "like a tiger defying the laws of gravity," and "traveling at the speed of light."
The song is quite empowering, but it's also clear that Mercury is throwing caution to the wind and putting himself in danger:
I am a satellite, I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
After Mercury died of AIDS-related causes in 1991, it became clear that his hedonism during this period caught up with him. Brian May told Mojo that he struggled with the lyrics because it was about a detrimental time in Mercury's life, when he was "taking lots of drugs and having sex with lots of men." In 2005, viewers of the BBC television program
Top Gear named this "Greatest Driving Song Ever." Freddie Mercury wrote "Don't Stop Me Now" on the piano. Roger Taylor told Mojo magazine in 2019: "I don't necessarily think it's one of our best songs, but I love the sentiment 'call me Mr. Fahrenheit.' It's hilarious and it's become a sort of rallying cry." In 2011, Queen fans voted the chorus of "Don't Stop Me Now" as the band's best ever lyric. The survey, conducted by HMV, found they liked the lyric "Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball" best. The second favorite lyric came from "The Show Must Go On " and was "My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die, I can fly my friends."
