Verse 1

Friday night and the lights are low 
Looking out for a place to go 
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
D Em Em | D Em Em |
You come to look for a king

Verse 2

Anybody could be that guy 
Night is young and the music's ... high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
D Em Em | D Em Em |
You're in the mood for a dance

Bridge

And when you get the cha-a-ance

Chorus

You are the dancing queen
C/G G | C/G |
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
C/G G D/F# | C/E G/D |
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Oooh, ooh, ooh - See that girl, watch that scene

Diggin' 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

Bridge

And when you get the chance

Chorus

You are the dancing queen
C/G G | C/G |
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
