The real lyrics go something like this:
"Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango? Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening!"
And so on and so forth. The best song ever!! Did you know that Bohemian Rhapsody was chosen as this song's name because in actual fact Freddie Mercury was busy working on four different songs. He couldn't finish any of these four songs, so he decided to throw them all together: hence Bohemian Rhapsody!
Bohemian means: Socially unconventional
Rhapsody means: an enthusiastic, ecstatic or extravagant utterance or composition.
Ta-da!!!!

No, but I'm guessing that it has something to do with opera as Freddie Mercury had opera training.

This was a very interesting interpretation.
