Dancing Queen
ABBA · Les Plus Grands Tubes Love [2014]
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go,
Mm, where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, ev'rything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
CHORUS:
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only 17
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on,
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
CHORUS
Diggin' the dancing queen
