ABBA - Dancing Queen [Lyrics]

"Dancing Queen" is a pop song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA. (Lyrics correctly spelled can be found after the info text)
It was released in August 1976, but was first performed two months earlier, on 18 June 1976, during a Royal Variety Show in Stockholm the evening before the Swedish royal wedding. It was the follow-up single to the hit "Fernando" and is commonly regarded as one of the most successful singles of the 1970s. "Dancing Queen" was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Stig Anderson and is considered by many to be ABBA's signature song, as it reached the number 1 position on popular music charts in 13 countries. Recorded in 1975, it was released on the group's album Arrival the following year and as a single with "That's Me" as the B-side. The song was re-released as a single in 1992 to promote the compilation "ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits".

Lyrics:

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen

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
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen

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
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen

There's never been a duo like Agnetha & Anni-Frid, and they're probably never will be. They both have such wonderful voices. It also doesn't hurt that they're both drop-dead gorgeous.

Probably the most perfect pop record ever written and performed by the most perfect pop band.

My husband said that this song reminded him of me. I loved to dance. I had moves. I am 66 now. Not so much. But still can do a few.

I love the way this song opens, kind of like, "Forget the 1st verse, let's just blow everyone away with the chorus right off the mark, " it's like the song elevates right from the start. Just incredible.

ABBA will be even more loved as the years goes by.
Their music is wonderful, clean and timeless.
Long after the Justin Biebers of the world fade away, people will still be listening to ABBA.

The blending of the voices of Agnetha and Freida was simply remarkable. And the music accompaniment by Bjorn and Bennie, not to mention the talents of the two as music writers---simply fantastic. I doubt I ever enjoyed listening to any other group as much as I do ABBA and I missed the group a lot.

ABBA is the best group of the world until now.Probably will remain as it is until next century.

I think this is possibly the most popular tune ever recorded. I am sure that at any moment 24/7 you will be able to find a radio station somewhere in the world playing it. An amazing piece of music and I never get tired of hearing it

[markfeagans]

I appreciate this band more now than in the '70's. Just beautiful music that brings back many happy memories for me.

We need ABBA back in today’s crazy, disturbing world.

ABBA is my favorite band of all time. I especially can relate to the song “Knowing Me, Knowing You.” 😢
