You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your lifeSee that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are lowLooking out for the place to goWhere they play the right music, getting in the swingYou come in to look for a KingAnybody could be that guyNight is young and the music's highWith a bit of rock music, everything is fineYou're in the mood for a danceAnd when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeenDancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your lifeSee that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em onLeave them burning and then you're goneLooking out for another, anyone will doYou're in the mood for a danceAnd when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeenDancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourineYou can dance, you can jive, having the time of your lifeSee that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU

No more carefree laughterSilence ever afterWalking through an empty house, tears in my eyesHere is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)There is nothing we can doKnowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)We just have to face it, this time we're through (This time we're through, this time we're through This time we're through, we're really through)Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go (I have to go this time I have to go, this time I know)Knowing me, knowing youIt's the best I can do

Mem'ries (mem'ries),good days (good days), bad days (bad days)They'll be (they'll be), with me (with me) always (always)In these old familiar rooms children would playNow there's only emptiness, nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)There is nothing we can doKnowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)We just have to face it, this time we're through (This time we're through, this time we're through This time we're through, we're really through)

Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go (I have to go this time I have to go, this time I know)Knowing me, knowing youIt's the best I can do

(repeat)

MAMMA MIA

I've been cheated by you since I don't know whenSo I made up my mind, it must come to an endLook at me now, will I ever learn?


4/19

I don't know how but I suddenly lose controlThere's a fire within my soulJust one look and I can hear a bell ringOne more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go againMy my, how can I resist you?Mamma mia, does it show again?My my, just how much I've missed youYes, I've been brokenheartedBlue since the day we partedWhy, why did I ever let you go?Mamma mia, now I really know,My my, I could never let you go.

I've been angry and sad about the things that you doI can't count allthe times that I've told you we're throughAnd when you go, when you slam the doorI think you know that you won't be away too longYou know that I'm not that strong.Just one look and I can hear a bell ringOne more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go againMy my, how can I resist you?Mamma mia, does it show again?My my, just how much I've missed youYes, I've been brokenheartedBlue since the day we partedWhy, why did I ever let you go?Mamma mia, even if I sayBye bye, leave me now or nevermamma mia, it's a game we playBye bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?Mamma mia, does it show again?My my, just how much I've missed youYes, I've been brokenheartedBlue since the day we partedWhy, why did I ever let you goMamma mia, now I really knowMy my, I could never let you go

LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME

I wasn't jealous before we metNow every woman I see is a potential threatAnd I'm possessive, it isn't niceYou've heard me saying that smoking was my only viceBut now it isn't trueNow everything is newAnd all I've learned has overturnedI beg of you...

Don't go wasting your emotion


5/19

Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duckA little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuckI still don't know what you've done with meA grown-up woman should never fall so easilyI feel a kind of fearWhen I don't have you nearUnsatisfied, I skip my prideI beg you dear...

Don't go wasting your emotionLay all your love on meDon't go sharing your devotionLay all your love on me

I've had a few little love affairsThey didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarceI used to think that was sensibleIt makes the truth even more incomprehensible'Cause everything is newAnd everything is youAnd all I've learned has overturnedWhat can I do...

Don't go wasting your emotionLay all your love on meDon't go sharing your devotionLay all your love on me

(repeat 2x and fade)

SUPER TROUPER

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blueLike I always do'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

I was sick and tired of everythingWhen I called you last night from GlasgowAll I do is eat and sleep and singWishing every show was the last show (Wishing every show was the last show)So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming (Glad to hear you're coming)Suddenly I feel all right (And suddenly it's gonna be)

And it's gonna be so differentWhen I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight theSuper Trouper lights are gonna find meShining like the sun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)Smiling, having fun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)Feeling like a number one


6/19

Tonight theSuper Trouper beams are gonna blind meBut I won't feel blue (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)Like I always do (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Facing twenty thousand of your friendsHow can anyone be so lonelyPart of a success that never endsStill I'm thinking about you only (Still I'm thinking about you only)There are moments when I think I'm going crazy (Think I'm going crazy)But it's gonna be alright (You'll soon be changing everything)Everything will be so differentWhen I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight theSuper Trouper lights are gonna find meShining like the sun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)

Smiling, having fun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)Feeling like a number oneTonight theSuper Trouper beams are gonna blind meBut I won't feel blue (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)Like I always do (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

So I'll be there when you arriveThe sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive

And when you take me in your armsAnd hold me tightI know it's gonna mean so much tonight

Tonight theSuper Trouper lights are gonna find meShining like the sun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)Smiling, having fun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)Feeling like a number oneTonight theSuper Trouper beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blue (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)Like I always do (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

I HAVE A DREAM

I have a dream, a song to singTo help me cope with anythingIf you see the wonder of a fairy taleYou can take the future even if you failI believe in angelsSomething good in everything I seeI believe in angelsWhen I know the time is right for meI'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasyTo help me through realityAnd my destination makes it worth the whilePushing through the darkness still another mileI believe in angelsSomething good in everything I seeI believe in angelsWhen I know the time is right for meI'll cross the stream - I have a dreamI'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing

To help me cope with anythingIf you see the wonder of a fairy taleYou can take the future even if you failI believe in angelsSomething good in everything I seeI believe in angelsWhen I know the time is right for meI'll cross the stream - I have a dreamI'll cross the stream - I have a dream

THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL

I don't wanna talkAbout the things we've gone throughThough it's hurting meNow it's historyI've played all my cardsAnd that's what you've done tooNothing more to sayNo more ace to play

The winner takes it allThe loser standing smallBeside the victory

That's her destiny

I was in your armsThinking I belonged thereI figured it made senseBuilding me a fenceBuilding me a homeThinking I'd be strong thereBut I was a foolPlaying by the rules


8/19

The gods may throw a diceTheir minds as cold as iceAnd someone way down hereLoses someone dearThe winner takes it allThe loser has to fallIt's simple and it's plainWhy should I complain.

But tell me does she kissLike I used to kiss you?Does it feel the sameWhen she calls your name?Somewhere deep insideYou must know I miss youBut what can I sayRules must be obeyed

The judges will decideThe likes of me abideSpectators of the showAlways staying lowThe game is on again

A lover or a friendA big thing or a smallThe winner takes it all

I don't wanna talkIf it makes you feel sadAnd I understandYou've come to shake my handI apologizeIf it makes you feel badSeeing me so tenseNo self-confidenceBut you see

The winner takes it allThe winner takes it all...

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY

I work all night,I work all day, to pay the bills I have to payAin't it sadAnd still there never seems to be a single penny left for meThat's too badIn my dreams I have a plan

If I got me a wealthy manI wouldn't have to work at all,I'd fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, moneyMust be funnyIn the rich man's worldMoney, money, moneyAlways sunnyIn the rich man's world


9/19

Aha-ahaaaAll the things I could doIf I had a little moneyIt's a rich man's world

A man like that is hardto find but I can't get him off my mindAin't it sadAnd if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy meThat's too badSo I must leave, I'll have to goTo Las Vegas or MonacoAnd win a fortune in a game,my life will never be the same...

Money, money, moneyMust be funnyIn the rich man's worldMoney, money, moneyAlways sunnyIn the rich man's worldAha-ahaaaAll the things I could doIf I had a little money

It's a rich man's world

Money, money, moneyMust be funnyIn the rich man's worldMoney, money, moneyAlways sunnyIn the rich man's worldAha-ahaaaAll the things I could doIf I had a little moneyIt's a rich man's world

It's a rich man's world

S.O.S.

Where are those happy days,they seem so hard to findI tried to reach for you,but you have closed your mindWhatever happened to our love?I wish I understoodIt used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear meS. O. S.The love you gave me, nothing else can save meS. O. S.When you're goneHow can I even try to go on?When you're goneThough I try how can I carry on?


10/19

You seem so far away though you are standing nearYou made me feel alive, but something died I fearI really tried to make it outI wish I understoodWhat happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear meS. O. S.The love you gave me, nothing else can save meS. O. S.When you're goneHow can I even try to go on?When you're goneThough I try how can I carry on?

So when you're near me,darling can't you hear meS. O. S.And the love you gave me, nothing else can save meS. O. S.When you're goneHow can I even try to go on?When you're goneThough I try how can I carry on?

When you're goneHow can I even try to go on?When you're goneThough I try how can I carry on?

CHIQUITITA

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrongYou're enchained by your own sorrowIn your eyes there is no hope for tomorrowHow I hate to see you like this

There is no way you can deny itI can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truthI'm a shoulder you can cry onYour best friend, I'm the one you must rely onYou were always sure of yourselfNow I see you've broken a featherI hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I knowHow the heartaches comeand they go and the scars they're leaving

You'll be dancing once again and the pain will endYou will have no time for grievingChiquitita, you and I cryBut the sun is still in the sky and shining above youLet me hear you sing once more like you did beforeSing a new song, ChiquititaTry once more like you did beforeSing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down


11/19

And your love's a blown out candleAll is gone and it seems too hard to handleChiquitita, tell me the truthThere is no way you can deny itI see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I knowHow the heartaches comeand they go and the scars they're leavingYou'll be dancing once again and the pain will endYou will have no time for grievingChiquitita, you and I cryBut the sun is still in the sky and shining above youLet me hear you sing once more like you did beforeSing a new song, ChiquititaTry once more like you did beforeSing a new song, ChiquititaTry once more like you did beforeSing a new song, Chiquitita

FERNANDO

Can you hear the drums Fernando?I remember long ago another starry night like thisIn the firelight FernandoYou were hummingto yourself and softly strumming your guitarI could hear the distant drumsAnd sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now FernandoEvery hour every minute seemed to last eternallyI was so afraid FernandoWe were youngand full of life and none of us prepared to die

And I'm not ashamed to sayThe roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that nightThe stars were bright, FernandoThey were shining there for you and meFor liberty, FernandoThough I never thought that we could loseThere's no regretIf I had to do the same againI would, my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey Fernando

And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your handCan you hear the drums Fernando?Do you still recallthe frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?I can see it in your eyesHow proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that nightThe stars were bright, FernandoThey were shining there for you and me


12/19

GIMME GIMME GIMME

Half past twelveAnd I'm watching the late show in my flat all aloneHow I hate to spend the evening on my ownAutumn windsBlowing outside the window as I look around the roomAnd it makes me so depressed to see the phoneThere's not a soul out there

No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnightWon't somebody help me chase these shadows awayGimme gimme gimme a man after midnightTake me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie starsFind the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to winIt's so different from the world I'm living in


14/19

Tired of T.V.I open the window and I gaze into the nightBut there's nothing there to see, no one in sightThere's not a soul out thereNo one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnightWon't somebody help me chase these shadows awayGimme gimme gimme a man after midnightTake me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight...

There's not a soul out thereNo one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnightWon't somebody help me chase these shadows awayGimme gimme gimme a man after midnightTake me through the darkness to the break of the dayGimme gimme gimme a man after midnightWon't somebody help me chase these shadows awayGimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW?

You're so hot, teasing meSo you're bluebut I can't take a chance on a chick like youThat's something I couldn't doThere's that look in your eyesI can read in yourface that your feelings are driving you wild

Ah, but girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honeyIf you think it's funnyDoes your mother know that you're out?And I can chat with you babyFlirt a little maybeDoes your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)Better slow down girlThat's no way to goDoes your mother know?

Take it easy (take it easy)Try to cool it girlTake it nice and slowDoes your mother know?

I can see what you wantBut you seem pretty youngto be searching for that kind of funSo maybe I'm not the oneNow you're so cute, I like your style


15/19

And I know what you mean whenyou give me a flash of that smile (smile)But girl you're only a child

Well I can dance with you honeyIf you think it's funnyDoes your mother know that you're out?And I can chat with you babyFlirt a little maybeDoes your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)Better slow down girlThat's no way to goDoes your mother know?Take it easy (take it easy)Try to cool it girlTake it nice and slowDoes your mother know?

Well I can dance with you honeyIf you think it's funnyDoes your mother know that you're out?And I can chat with you baby

Flirt a little maybeDoes your mother know that you're out?

ONE OF US

They passed me by, all of those great romancesYou were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chancesMy picture clear, everything seemed so easyAnd so I dealt you the blow

One of us had to goNow it's different, I want you to know

One of us is cryingOne of us is lyingIn her lonely bedStaring at the ceilingWishing she was somewhere else insteadOne of us is lonelyOne of us is onlyWaiting for a callSorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling smallWishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attractionI felt you kept me away from the heat and the actionJust like a child, stubborn and misconceivingThat's how I started the showOne of us had to goNow I've changed and I want you to know

One of us is cryingOne of us is lying


16/19

In her lonely bedStaring at the ceilingWishing she was somewhere else insteadOne of us is lonelyOne of us is onlyWaiting for a callSorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling smallWishing she had never left at allNever left at all

Staring at the ceilingWishing she was somewhere else insteadOne of us is lonelyOne of us is onlyWaiting for a call

THE NAME OF THE GAME

I've seen you twice, in a short timeOnly a week since we started

It seems to me, for every timeI'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible caseNo-one ever could reach meBut I think I can see in your faceThere's a lot you can teach meSo I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?Does it mean anything to you?What's the name of the game?Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please, 'cause I have to knowI'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talkAnd you make me feelAnd you make me showWhat I'm trying to concealIf I trust in you, would you let me down?Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?Could you feel the same way too?I wanna know..

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to seeAnd I am never invitedNow I am here, talking to youNo wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voiceAnd the way you see through meGot a feeling, you give me no choiceBut it means a lot to me


17/19

So I wanna know..

What's the name of the game?(Your smile and the sound of your voice)Does it mean anything to you?(Got a feeling you give me no choice)(But it means a lot)What's the name of the game?(Your smile and the sound of your voice)Can you feel it the way I do?Tell me please, 'cause I have to knowI'm a bashful child, beginning to grow

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you've probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing'Cause everyone listens when I start to singI'm so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loud

So I sayThank you for the music, the songs I'm singingThanks for all the joy they're bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestyWhat would life be?Without a song or a dance what are we?So I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to me


18/19

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I've often wondered, how did it all start?Who found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody can?Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I sayThank you for the music, the songs I'm singingThanks for all the joy they're bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestyWhat would life be?Without a song or a dance what are we?So I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hairI wanna sing it out to everybodyWhat a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I sayThank you for the music, the songs I'm singingThanks for all the joy they're bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be?Without a song or a dance what are we?So I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to me
