You can dance, you can drive
Having the time of my life
See that girl, watch and sing
Taking the dancing queen
Friday night and the music's low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they feel the right music
Getting in the swing
You better know for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Not as young but the music's high
When you're looking out for a place to go

Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You better know for a chance
And if you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat of the music

Beat on the tambourine
Oh yeah
You can dance, you can drive
Having the time of my life
See that girl, watch and sing
Taking the dancing queen
Taking the dancing queen

Same thing again
You better know for a chance
You better know for a chance
So take the time to dance

It's forced on us
You better know for a chance
You better know for a chance
That you know is gonna be
