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

THERE'S GLITTER ON THE FLOOR AFTER THE PARTY
GIRLS CARRYING THEIR SHOES DOWN IN THE LOBBY
CANDLE WAX AND POLAROIDS ON THE HARDWOOD FLOOR
YOU AND ME FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE BUT
DON’T READ THE LAST PAGE
BUT I STAY WHEN YOU'RE LOST AND I'M SCARED AND YOU’RE TURNING AWAY
I WANT YOUR MIDNIGHTS
BUT I'LL BE CLEANING UP BOTTLES WITH YOU ON NEW YEAR'S DAY
YOU SQUEEZE MY HAND THREE TIMES IN THE BACK OF THE TAXI
I CAN TELL THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG ROAD
I'LL BE THERE IF YOU'RE THE TOAST OF THE TOWN BABE
OR IF YOU STRIKE OUT AND YOU'RE CRAWLING HOME
DON'T READ THE LAST PAGE
BUT I STAY WHEN IT'S HARD OR IT’S WRONG OR YOU’RE MAKING MISTAKES
I WANT YOUR MIDNIGHTS
BUT I'LL BE CLEANING UP BOTTLES WITH YOU ON NEW YEAR’S DAY
HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES, THEY WILL HOLD ON TO YOU
HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES, THEY WILL HOLD ON TO YOU
HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES, THEY WILL HOLD ON TO YOU
AND I WILL HOLD ON TO YOU
PLEASE DON'T EVER BECOME A STRANGER WHOSE LAUGH I COULD RECOGNIZE ANYWHERE
PLEASE DON'T EVER BECOME A STRANGER WHOSE LAUGH I COULD RECOGNIZE ANYWHERE
THERE'S GLITTER ON THE FLOOR AFTER THE PARTY
GIRLS CARRYING THEIR SHOES DOWN IN THE LOBBY
CANDLE WAX AND POLAROIDS ON THE HARDWOOD FLOOR
YOU AND ME FOREVERMORE
DON’T READ THE LAST PAGE
BUT I STAY WHEN IT'S HARD OR IT'S WRONG OR WE'RE MAKING MISTAKES
I WANT YOUR MIDNIGHTS
BUT I'LL BE CLEANING UP BOTTLES WITH YOU ON NEW YEAR'S DAY
HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES, THEY WILL HOLD ON TO YOU
HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES, THEY WILL HOLD ON TO YOU
HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES, THEY WILL HOLD ON TO YOU
