Dancing Queen Lyrics

[SANTANA & MERCEDES]
Ooh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

[SANTANA and MERCEDES]
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Oh, 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...


[SANTANA & MERCEDES]
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
[MERCEDES]
You're a teaser, you turn them 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...

[SANTANA & MERCEDES]
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance (You can dance), you can jive (You can jive)
Having the time of your life (having the time of your life)
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen (dancing, dancing queen)
Digging the dancing queen (the dancing queen, hey)
Digging the dancing queen!
