You have the ability to dance, to have a great time, oh, observe that girl, enjoy that scene, appreciating the dancing queen. Friday night and the lights are dim, searching for somewhere to go, where they play the right music, getting into the rhythm. You are looking for someone. Anyone could be that person, the night is young and the music is loud. With a bit of rock music, everything is good, you're in the mood for a dance, and when you have the opportunity. You are the dancing queen, young and lovely, only seventeen. Dancing queen, feel the rhythm from the tambourine, oh yeah. You have the ability to dance, to have a great time, oh, observe that girl, enjoy that scene, appreciating the dancing queen.
