🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Echo the hook

  • You're in the mood for a dance
  • And when you get the chance
  • You are the Dancing Queen
  • Young and sweet, only seventeen
