Lyrics

OohYou can danceYou can jiveHaving the time of your lifeOoh, see that girlWatch that sceneDigging the dancing queen

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

You are the dancing queenYoung and sweetOnly seventeenDancing queenFeel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeahYou can danceYou can jiveHaving the time of your lifeOoh, see that girlWatch that sceneDigging the dancing queenDigging the dancing queen
