ABBA - Dancing Queen

[Intro]
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging 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 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

[Chorus]
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
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

[Verse 2]
You're a teaser, 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

[Chorus]
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
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

[Outro]
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen

Songwriters: Benny Andersson / Björn Ulvaeus / Stig Anderson

"Dancing Queen" received critical acclaim upon its release. The lyrics of "Dancing Queen" concerns a visit to the discotheque, but approaches the subject from the joy of dancing itself. And it alternates between "languid yet seductive verses" and "a dramatic chorus that ascends to heart-tugging high notes". Featuring sublime melody and pop opera harmonies, the song "Dancing Queen" has become a dance-pop standard with its sincerity and sheer musicality. Even though it is almost half a century old, I enjoy listening to this song, it undoubtedly deserves to be one of the best works of all time.
