The Queen And I

Lyrics

[Intro: Anni-Frid Lyngstad & Agnetha Fältskog] Ooh-ooh, you can dance, you can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene Diggin' the dancing queen (Ahh-ahh) [Verse 1: Bill Drummond] Every time I saw TV or I read the newspaper There were all these stories about Stevie and the Raper The Zercon connection and the Peter Reich case The loony left pounds with the budget in disgrace I asked myself, 'What am I to believe?' When the cancer is a killer, John Player wins a lead With Masters of the Universe and designer death They all be talkin' about Princess Di's dress Yes, this is a very nice dress [Verse 2: Bill Drummond] When I was younger, I knew just who to hate From the teachers in our classroom to the leaders of our state I've registered to vote, this pleasant land's free So I took the Intercity for democracy and me I knocked at the door but they didnae let me in So I kicked it down and I walked right in She was standing at the bar while Healey cut his crust Question time, make it work [Chorus: Anni-Frid Lyngstad & Agnetha Fältskog] Dancing queen —een Dancing queen Oh, yeah You can jive See that girl Dancing queen (Ahh-ahh) [Verse 3: Bill Drummond] I just want to know, who's in control? Is it you or God or the bloke down the dole? Her answers were shite but I didnae give up So I went to the law but it didnae wake up So I went to the palace that good Queen Bess She asked me to dance said she'd like a rest Boy D'll be King, "I'd love to get the throne" "Here's the keys to the castle, you're in control" [Chorus: Bill Drummond, Anni-Frid Lyngstad & Agnetha Fältskog] Dancing queen Young and sweet, only seventeen What about Charles? I like Charles Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh, yeah (And of course [?]) Rock, I've got the kingdom! Having the time of your life (Ooh, see that girl) You wanna bet? Talking of betting, do I get to go horse racing? With your mum [?] (Dancing queen) I lost a lot of money on the horse racing (Diggin' the dancing queen) I'd sworn I'd never get involved again Have you ever met ABBA? I'd love to meet ABBA They used to be one of my favourite groups [Bridge: Johnny Rotten] God save the Queen [Chorus: Anni-Frid Lyngstad & Agnetha Fältskog] Ooh-ooh, you can da—, you can ji— Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Dancing queen (Ahh-ahh) [Outro: Johnny Rotten, John Lydon] God save the Queen Get pissed, destroy
