Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, 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
Mmm, where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king[Verse 2]
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[Pre-Chorus]
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh, yeah
