Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen (woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
(Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life (woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen (woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
(Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
Leave them 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
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet only seventeen (seventeen)
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen (woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
Young and sweet only seventeen
Dancing queen (woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen (woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
Only seventeen (woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
Dancing queen (woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
(Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh)
