I read this, but not sure how to relay it to you, so here is the link. The way it sounds it was all Freddy Mercury's idea and it almost didn't make the album.

From the time "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released to the public, there has been speculation regarding the meaning behind the song's lyrics. Some believe the lyrics depict the events just preceding an execution, pointing to Albert Camus's novel The Stranger as a probable source of inspiration. Others believe the song is about a draftee in the Vietnam War, his personal struggles and the ongoing protests at home. Some even believe the lyrics were only written to fit with the music, and have no meaning at all. As evidence, DJ Everett quoted Mercury as claiming the lyrics were simply "random rhyming nonsense."
Mercury was famously evasive when asked about the song's meaning. Unlike the other members of Queen, who often talked about the inspiration behind the songs they had written, Mercury disliked analysing his own material, and preferred listeners to construct their own personal interpretations. What is known is that the song had an especially personal connection for Mercury, which was confirmed by the band's other members. Following the single's release, Mercury was quoted as saying, "It's one of those songs which has such a fantasy feel about it. I think people should just listen to it, think about it, and then make up their own minds as to what it says to them." "'Bohemian Rhapsody' didn't just come out of thin air. I did a bit of research although it was tongue-in-cheek and mock opera. Why not?"

Freddie Mercury wrote them. When he played the song to the band they thought he was crazy. Shows how wrong you can be.
(Apparently Elton John told him that it was too long and would never be a hit single)

Well, some people have a little something called "creativity" - you have an idea and you write it down, develop it... and voila.
