Net zoals het nummer "My Fairy King" op het eerste album beschrijft de songtekst de fantasiewereld uit de jeugd van zanger Freddie Mercury. De zeven zeeën en de "king of Rhye" komen ook ter sprake in de tekst van "Lily of the Valley" op het derde album, Sheer Heart Attack uit '74.

Aan het einde van het nummer wordt het refrein van het bekende liedje uit 1907 "I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside" gezongen.
