[Verse]
We had a good night jammin' away
There was a full moon showin' and we started to play
But in the cold light of day next mornin'
The party was over, uh uh
The party was over
We got love and we got style
And we got sex and I know, I know we got what it takes
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Why don't you come back and play?
[Chorus]
Come back and play (Hey, hey)
Come back and play
We got all night, all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come back and play? (Hey hey)
Come back and play
Come back and play, come back and play
Play, play it, play it (Yeah!)
(Go get 'em, boy!)
(Let's party!)
[Guitar Solo]
(Yeah!)
(Hahahahaha!)
(Give it, give it)

[Bridge]
We had a food fight in somebody's face
We were up all night singing (Singing)
And giving a chase
But in the cold light of day next morning
Everybody was hung over
[Chorus]
Hey, come back and play
(Come back and play)
Come back and play
We got all night, all day
Everybody's gone away
Why don't you come back and play? (And play)
Come back and play
We got all night
We got all day
We got all night and day, ah!
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back and play!

[Outro]
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
The party is over

Queen’s free Hyde Park concert on 18th September 1976 turned the success of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘A Night at the Opera’ into a striking demonstration of their support at home.
Successive generations of headliners made Knebworth famous. Its history also turns on giant screens, repeat bookings and the less glamorous business of clearing up between shows.
A festival’s first headliner, two historic final appearances, Britpop’s enormous weekend and the arrival of Sonisphere: six different ways to make Knebworth history.
The one-day event will run at 2.30pm and 7.30pm, with tickets starting at £35 excluding the venue ticket fee.
