Amaj7/9: x02100
You can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life.
Oh, see that girl, watch that scene,
Diggin' the dancing queen.
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've 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 tam - bourine.
Oh yeah.
You can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life.
Oh, see that girl, watch that scene,
Diggin' the dancing queen.
Bridge:
You're a tease, 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...
Bridge:
Ending:

The story behind the song

"Dancing Queen" captures the feeling of youthful exuberance and the thrill of a night out, centered around a girl who transforms into the "dancing queen" on the dance floor. The song was inspired by the dance rhythm of George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby" and the drumming on Dr. John's 1972 album, Dr. John's Gumbo. One of the band members, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, found the song so beautiful it brought her to tears, feeling it went straight to her heart. It plays like a celebration of freedom and confidence found in movement and music.
