ABBA
MAMMA MIA
I've been cheated by you
since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must
come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever
learn?
I don't know how but I
suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear
a bell ring
One more look and I forget
everything, o-o-o-oh
Mamma mia,
here I go again
My my,
how can I resist you?
Mamma mia,
does it show again?
My my,
just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you
go?
Mamma mia,
now I really know,
My my,
I could never let you go.
I've been angry and sad about
things that you do
I can't count all the times
that I've told you we're through
And when you go, when you
slam the door
I think you know that you
won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that
strong
Just one look and I can hear
a bell ring
One more look and I forget
everything, o-o-o-oh
Mamma mia,
here I go again
My my,
how can I resist you?
Mamma mia,
does it show again?
My my,
just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you
go?
Mamma mia,
now I really know,
My my,
I could never let you go.
Mamma mia,
here I go again
My my,
how can I resist you?
Mamma mia,
does it show again?
My my,
just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia,
now I really know
My my,
I could never let you go
GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!
And I'm watching the late
show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the
evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the 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
Won't somebody help me chase
the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after
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 living in
Tired of
T.V.
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
Won't somebody help me chase
the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after
Take me through the darkness
to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after
Won't somebody help me chase
the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after
Take me through the darkness
to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme
a man after
ONE OF US
They passed me by, all of
those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me
of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything
seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want
you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere
else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling
stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at
all
I saw myself as a concealed
attraction
I felt you kept me away from
the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn
and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want
you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere
else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling
stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at
all
Never left at all
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere
else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling
stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at
all

SUPER TROOPER
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
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're coming)
Suddenly I feel all right
(And suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna
be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-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 crazy)
But it's gonna
be alright
(You'll soon be changing
everything)
Everything will be so
different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-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
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
there's you

VOULEZ-VOUZ
People everywhere
A sense of expectation
hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are
glowing in the dark

Master of the scene
We've done it all before and

S.O.S
Where are those happy days,
they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but
you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our
love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me,
darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing
else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry
on?
You seem so far away though
you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but
something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it
used to be so good
So when you're near me,
darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing
else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry
on?
So when you're near me,
darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
And the love you gave me,
nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry
on?
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry
on?
DANCING QUEEN
You can dance,
you can jive, 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 the place to
go
Where they play the right
music, getting in the swing
You come in 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 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...
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
Dig in the Dancing Queen
Dig in the Dancing Queen
LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
I wasn't jealous before we
met
Now every woman I see is a
potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't
nice
You've heard me saying that
smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has
overturned
I beg of you...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a
sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile
and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what
you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never
fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear...
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your
devotion
Lay all your love on me
(repeate and fade)
OUR LAST SUMMER
The summer air was soft and
warm
The feeling right, the
Did it's best to please us
And strolling down the Elysee
We had a drink in each cafe
And you
You talked of politics,
philosophy and I
Smiled like Mona Lisa
We had our chance
It was a fine and true
romance
I can still recall our last
summer
I still see it all
Walks along the
Our last summer
Memories that remain
We made our way along the
river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes
Those crazy years, that was
the time
Of the flower-power
But underneath we had a fear
of flying
Of getting old, a fear of
slowly dying
We took the chance
Like we were dancing our last
dance
I can still recall our last
summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the
Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day, worries
far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play
And now you're working in a
bank
The family man, the football
fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet you're the hero of my
dreams
I can still recall our last
summer
I still see it all
Walks along the
Our last summer
Memories that remain
I can still recall our last
summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the
Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Our last summer
Morning croissants
We were living for the day,
worries far away.
KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty
house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends,
this is goodbye
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this
time we're through
(This time we're through)
Breaking up is never easy I
know, but I have to go
(This time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
Mem'ries (mem'ries), good days (good
days), bad days (bad days)
They'll be (they'll be), with
me (with me) always (always)
In these old familiar rooms,
children would play
Now there's only emptiness,
nothing to say
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this
time we're through
(This time we're through)
Breaking up is never easy I
know, but I have to go
(This time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this
time we're through
(This time we're through)
Breaking up is never easy I
know, but I have to go
(This time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
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
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Finally facing my
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 I could ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Finally facing my
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Finally facing my
Woo-woo-woo-woo
Knowing my fate is to be with
you
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Finally facing my
Woo-woo-woo-woo
Knowing my fate is ......

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
If 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 trough 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

for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

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
DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW
You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue, but I can't
take the chance
On a chick like you
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that
your feelings
Are driving you wild
Ah but girl, you're only a
child
Well I could dance with you
honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that
you're out
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that
you're out
Take it easy, better slow down
girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know
Take it easy, try to cool it
girl
Play 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 now what you mean when
you give me
A flash of that smile
But girl you're only a child
Well I could dance with you
honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that
you're out
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe

CHIQUITITA
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own
sorrow
In your eyes there's no hope
for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There's 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
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 dancing once again
and the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitia you and I cry
But the sun is still in the
sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more
like you did 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's 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'll be dancing once again
and the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitia you and I cry
But the sun is still in the
sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more
like you did 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

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
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
At least not until the 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
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
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
The three of us 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
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
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"
FERNANDO
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 the far
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
tonight
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 so 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
faithful night we crossed the
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight
for freedom in this land
There was something in the air
tonight
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 so the same again
I would my friend, Fernando
There was something in the air
tonight
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 so 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 ..
