Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find 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 Glasgow
All I do is eat, and sleep, and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
Suddenly I feel alright
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
DONNA & DYNAMOS & GIRLS
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
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
DONNA
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
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
But it's gonna be alright
(you soon be changing evrything)
evrything will be so different
When I'm on stage tonight
Tonight the
DONNA & THE DYNAMOS & GIRLS
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
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
DONNA
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
DONNA & THE DYNAMOS & GIRLS
Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
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
Super Trouper
(Beams are gonna find me)

I remember this song fondly, as when my performing group did this show, I was Run Crew, and I didn't have anything to do during the song. We also didn't have enough bass singers to fill in the male background singers, so we bass singers in the crew got a special pass to sing for those vocals. Man, I'm now a Stage Manager and that moment still sticks with me!
@Rylosalex
I love the whole scene where this song is featured and I love the male background singers
@jrdube
