ABBA Abba Live Lyrics
1.Dancing Queen

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

You can dance
You can live
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 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

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 '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

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















King

2.Take A Chance On Me

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

If you change your mind (take a chance...)
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

Take a chance on me (that's all I ask of you, honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing (oh)
We can go walking (yeah)
As long as we're together (long as we're together)
Listen to some music (oh)
Maybe just talking (yeah)
Get to know you better (get to know you better)
'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there
Afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind (take a chance...)
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

Take a chance on me (come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me

Oh, you can take your time, baby (oh)
I'm in no hurry (yeah)
Know I'm gonna get you (know I'm gonna get you)
You don't wanna hurt me (oh)
Baby, don't worry (yeah)
I ain't gonna let you (I ain't gonna let you)
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
No, I can't let go
'Cause I love you so

If you change your mind (take a chance...)
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me (take a chance, take a chance, take a chance
on me)

Ba-ba ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba ba
Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me (take a chance, take a chance, take a chance
on me)


3.I Have A Dream

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

I have a dream
A fantasy
To help me through
Reality
And my destination
Makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness
Still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream


4.Does Your Mother Know

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

You're so hot
Teasing me
So you're blue but I can't
Take a chance on a chick like you
It's something I couldn't do

There's that look
In your eyes
I can read in your face
That your feelings are driving you wild
Oh, but girl you're only a child

Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

I can see
What you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one

Now, you're so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child

Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?

Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?


5.Chiquitita

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes
There is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see
That you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend
I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see
You've broken a feather (how it hurts to see you cry and how it
hurts to see you sad)
I hope
We can patch it up together

Chiquitita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in
the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you
used to do before)
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita

So the walls came tumblin' down
And your love's a blown-out candle
All is gone
And it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see
That you're oh, so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin' (you and I we know how all the
heartaches come and go)
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end (and you'll be dancing once again, and all
the pain you take will end)
You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you (even though we cry the sun is shining in
the sky, so)
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before (let me hear you sing some more the way you
used to do before)
Sing a new song
Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita

6.Thank You For The Music

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

I'm nothing special
In fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke
You've probably heard it before
But I have a talent
A Wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens
When I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say

Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy
They're bringing
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was
A dancer before I could walk
She says I began
To sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered
How did it all start?
Who found out that nothing
Can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well who ever it was, I'm a fan
So I say

Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy
They're bringing
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky
I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy
What a life
What a chance

Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy
They're bringing
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me


7.Two For The Price Of One

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

He had what you might call a trivial occupation
He cleaned the platforms of the local railway station
With no romance in his life
Sometimes he wished he had a wife

He read the matrimonial advertising pages
The cries for help from different people different ages
But they had nothing to say (nothing to say)
At least not until the day ('til that day)
When something special he read
This is what it said

If you dream of the girl for you
Then call us and get
Two for the price of one
We're the answer if you feel blue
So call us and get
Two for the price of one

If you dream of the girl for you (if you are dreaming of the one
which will be right for you)
Then call us and get (why don't you call us and you'll get two)
Two for the price of one
We're the answer if you feel blue (we may be the answer to your
problem - if by chance you feel blue)
So call us and get (why don't you call us and you'll get two)
Two for the price of one

He called the number and a voice said
Alice Whiting
The voice was husky and it sounded quite exciting
He was amazed at his luck
The purest streak of gold he'd struck

He said I read your ad it sounded rather thrilling
I think a meeting could be mutually fulfilling
Why don't we meet for a chat? (meet for a chat)
The three of us in my flat (in my flat)
I can't forget what I read
This is what it said

If you dream of the girl for you
Then call us and get
Two for the price of one
We're the answer if you feel blue
So call us and get
Two for the price of one

If you dream of the girl for you (if you are dreaming of the one
which will be right for you)
Then call us and get (why don't you call us and you'll get two)
Two for the price of one
We're the answer if you feel blue (we may be the answer to your
problem - if by chance you feel blue)
So call us and get (why don't you call us and you'll get two)
Two for the price of one

She said, I'm sure we must be perfect for each other
And if you doubt it, you'll be certain when you meet my mother


8.Fernando

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
I remember long ago
Another starry night like this
In the firelight, Fernando
You were humming to yourself
And softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now, Fernando
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid, Fernando
We were young and full of life
And none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and grey, Fernando
Since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night
We crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in you eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando





































9.Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

Half past twelve
And I'm watchin' the late show
In my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowin' outside my window
As I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm livin' in
Tired of TV
I open the window
And I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see
No one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day


10.Super Trouper

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you

I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat, and sleep, and sing
Wishing every show was the last show (wishing every show was the
last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming (glad to hear you
coming)
Suddenly I feel alright (and suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Smiling, having fun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Like I always do (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only (still I'm thinking about you
only)
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy (think I'm going,
think I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright ('cause you'll be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Smiling, having fun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Like I always do (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you

So I'll be there
When you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me
I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight

Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Smiling, having fun (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
Like I always do (sup-per-per trou-per-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you


11.Waterloo

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

My my
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

My my
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Oh yeah
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo


12.Money, Money, Money

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

I work all night, I work all day
To pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad?
And still there never seems to be
A single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find
But I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad?
And if he happens to be free
I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game
My life will never be the same

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world


13.The Name Of The Game

Written:B.Andersson/S.Anderson/B.Ulvaus

I've seen you twice
In a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me
For every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child
Beginning to grow

And you make me talk (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me feel (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me show (doo-doo doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I trust in you (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (aah)
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know

The name of the game

I have no friends
No one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here
Talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know

What's the name of the game? (your smile and the sound of your
voice)
Does it mean anything to you? (got a feeling you give me no
choice)
But it means a lot
What's the name of the game? (your smile and the sound of your
voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child
Beginning to grow

And you make me talk (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me feel (doo-doo doo-doo)
And you make me show (doo-doo doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I trust in you (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (doo-doo doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (doo-doo doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (aah)
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
Oh yes, I wanna know

The name of the game (I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you? (but I think I can see in your
face)
And it means a lot
What's the name of the game? (your smile and the sound of your
voice)
Can you feel it the way I do? (got a feeling you give me no
choice)
But it means a lot
What's the name of the game? (I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you? (but I think I can see in your
face)
And it means a lot


14.Eagle

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

They came flying from far away
Now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They've seen places beyond my land
And they've found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand
And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

Flying high, high
I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high
What a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

As all good friends we talk all night
And we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There's no limit to what I feel
We climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real?
Is it true I'm an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?

Flying high, high (I can fly)
I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, High
What a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

And I dream I'm an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

Flying high, high (I can fly)
I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, High
What a feeling to fly (what a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas

And to go anywhere that I please


15.On And On And On

Lyrics:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus
Music:B.Andersson/B.Ulvaus

I was at a party and this feller said to me
Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights

I said who are you to talk about impending doom?
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, I'm a minister, a big shot in the state
I said, I just can't believe it, boy, I think it's great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?
He said, keep on rocking baby, 'till the night is gone

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone

Over in the corner I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar

And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, 'who am I and who are you and who are we?'
'What's our situation, do we have some time for us?'
I said, 'I was not exactly waiting for the bus'
He said, 'if you're going somewhere can I come along?'
I said, 'keep on rocking baby 'till the night is gone'

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Till the night is gone
On and on and on
'Till the night is gone
