Dancing Queen
Siobhán McCarthy Louise Plowright Jenny Galloway & Company Lyrics

You can dance
You have the ability and freedom to move your body rhythmically

You can jive
You are capable of dancing a popular style of dance that originated in the 1940s

Having the time of your life
You are experiencing a moment of pure enjoyment and pleasure

See that girl
Notice the girl who is drawing attention on the dance floor

Watch that scene
Observe the lively and exciting environment of the dance floor

Dig in the dancing queen
Join and fully embrace the atmosphere of the dance floor, led by the girl who is captivating all the attention

Friday night and the lights are low
It is the end of the week and the environment is dimly lit, creating a mood for relaxation and entertainment

Looking out for a place to go
Searching for a location to spend the night out

Where they play the right music
Looking for a venue where the music being played is enjoyable

Getting in the swing
Starting to feel the rhythm and movement of the music

You come to look for a king
You are searching for a male partner to dance with and potentially form a relationship with

Anybody could be that guy
You are not specifically looking for a specific person to dance with, anyone who fits your criteria will do

Night is young and the music's high
It is still early in the evening and the tempo and volume of the music is still high

With a bit of rock music
With the addition of rock music along with other genres, the energy level has increased

Everything is fine
Everything is going smoothly and without issue

You're in the mood for a dance
In your current state of mind, dancing is highly appealing and desired

And when you get the chance
As soon as the opportunity arises or is presented to you

You are the dancing queen
You embody the ideal characteristics of someone who is highly skilled and captivating on the dance floor

Young and sweet
You possess youthfulness and innocence

Only seventeen
You are at the beginning of adulthood, still learning and experiencing life

Feel the beat from the tambourine
Sense and respond to the rhythm being produced by the percussion instrument

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
You are skilled at provoking interest and excitement in others

Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
After captivating someone's attention, you move on to the next without any attachment or commitment

Looking out for another
Searching for another person to engage with and captivate

Anyone will do
Not being selective or particular in who you choose to engage with
