Naya Rivera Amber Riley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
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
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, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh 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, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen
The song Dancing Queen by Naya Rivera and Amber Riley is a cover of a classic song by ABBA, released in 1976. The lyrics are about a young woman who is enjoying herself and having the time of her life as she dances the night away. The first verse sets the scene on a Friday night in a low-lit place playing the right music, where the girl is looking for a king. The song goes on to say that anybody could be that guy, as the night is young, and the music is high. And with a bit of rock music, everything is fine as she is in the mood to dance.
The chorus reveals that the girl is the dancing queen, young, and sweet, just seventeen years old. She feels the beat from the tambourine and has the time of her life. The second verse says that the girl is a teaser; she turns them on, leaves them burning, and then disappears while looking for another person to dance with.
