Dancing Queen
James Last And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of James Last And His Orchestra's song Dancing Queen are about the joy and freedom that comes with dancing. Through the opening lines, 'You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life,' the song encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy themselves on the dance floor. The mention of 'that girl' and 'that scene' refers to the energy and atmosphere of the dance floor, where people are caught up in the music and movement. The repeated phrase 'dig in the dancing queen' reinforces the idea that the listener should fully embrace the experience and dance with abandon.

Uno de los mejores temas del fabuloso grupo sueco a la manera del gran Maestro James Last, que al frente de sus grandes músicos y en un estupendo arreglo nos regala este tema. Saludos desde México.
Juan Fernandez
Y es un excelente tema, cargado de alegría y un poco de nostalgia. Fueron las bellas épocas y los buenos recuerdos que nos dejaron los recordados integrantes del grupo ABBA. Saludos desde Colombia.
