Intro
You can dance, you can jiveHaving the time of your lifeOoh, see that girl, watch that sceneDigging the dancing queenVerse 1
Friday night and the lights are lowLooking out for a place to goWhere they play the right music, getting in the swingYou come to look for a kingAnybody could be that guyNight is young and the music's highWith a bit of rock music, everything is fineYou're in the mood for a danceAnd when you get the chanceChorus
You are the dancing queenYoung and sweet, only seventeenDancing queenFeel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeahYou can dance, you can jiveHaving the time of your lifeOoh, see that girl, watch that sceneDigging the dancing queenVerse 2
You're a teaser, you turn 'em onLeave 'em burning and then you're goneLooking out for another, anyone will doYou're in the mood for a danceAnd when you get the chanceChorus
You are the dancing queenYoung and sweet, only seventeenDancing queenFeel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeahYou can dance, you can jiveHaving the time of your lifeOoh, see that girl, watch that sceneDigging the dancing queenOutro
