You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life.
Oh, see that girl, watch that scene,
Diggin' the dancing queen.
Verse 1:
Friday night and the lights are low.
Looking out for a place to go.
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing.
You've 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
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.
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life.
Oh, see that girl, watch that scene,
Diggin' the dancing queen.
Verse 2:
You're a tease, 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
