1. SUMMER NIGHT CITY

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city

In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can’t take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong

I know what’s waiting there for me
Tonight I’m loose and fancy-free

When the night comes with the action I just know it’s time to go
Can’t resist the strange attraction from that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breathe and time to live

Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city

It’s elusive call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don’t miss them when they’re gone

I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere

When the night comes with the action I just know it’s time to go
Can’t resist the strange attraction from that giant dynamo
And tomorrow, when the dawning and the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning nothing’s worth remembering

It’s a dream, it’s out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach

I know what’s waiting there for me
Tonight I’m loose and fancy-free
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere


2. THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC

I’m nothing special, in fact, I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I’ve been so lucky
I am the man with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a life, what a joy, what a chance!

Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me


3. GIMME! GIMME! GIMME! (A MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT)

Half past twelve
When I’m watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own

Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my pray

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
It’s so different from the world I’m living in

Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight

There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my pray

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my pray

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight


4. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY

I work all night, I work all day to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain’t it sad?!
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That’s too bad!

In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all
I’d fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny in the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny in the rich man’s world

All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world

A man like that is hard to find but I can’t get him off my mind
Ain’t it sad?!
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn’t fancy me
That’s too bad!

So I must leave, I’ll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game
My life will never be the same

Money, money, money
Must be funny in the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny in the rich man’s world

All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world

Money, money, money
Must be funny in the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny in the rich man’s world

All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world

It’s a rich man’s world!


5. VOULEZ-VOUS

People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark

And here we go again
We know the start
We know the end
Masters of the scene

Now we’re back to get some more
You know what I mean

“The girl means business so I’ll offer her a drink”
Feeling mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd

You know the rules
You know the game
Master of the scene
We’ve done it all before
Now we’re back to get some more
You know what I mean

6. S.O.S.

Where are those happy days?
They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you
But you have closed your mind

Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good

So when you’re near me, darling
Can’t you hear me?
S. O. S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
S. O. S.

When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear

I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love?
It used to be so good

So when you’re near me, darling
Can’t you hear me?
S. O. S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
S. O. S.

When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

So when you’re near me, darling
Can’t you hear me?
S. O. S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
S. O. S.

When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?


7. TAKE A CHANCE ON ME

If you change your mind
I’m the first in line
Honey, I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me
Let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go
If you’re feeling down

Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing
We can go walking
As long as we’re together
Listen to the music
Maybe just talking
Get to know you better

So much that I wanna do
When I dream I’m alone with you
It’s magic

You want me to leave it there
Afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can’t let go

If you change your mind

Know I’m gonna get you
You don’t wanna hurt me
Baby, don’t worry
I ain’t gonna let you

My love is strong enough
To last when things are rough
It’s magic
You say that I waste my time
But I can’t get you off my mind
No I can’t let go
‘Cause I love you so

If you change your mind
I’m the first in line

Gonna do my very best
And it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

8. CHIQUITITA

Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrong
You’re enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow

How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I’m a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I’m the one you must rely on

You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you’ve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumbling down
And your love has blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita


9. EAGLE

They came flying from far away now I’m under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
They’ve seen places beyond my land and they’ve found new horizons
They speak strangely but I understand

And I dream I’m an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

Flying high, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
Flying high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

As all good friends we talk all night and we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
There’s no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher
Am I dreaming or is it all real?

Is it true I’m an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?

Flying high, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, high, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please

And I dream I’m an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings

Flying high, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas

High, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
High, what a feeling to fly
Over mountains and forests and seas
And to go anywhere that I please


10. ONE OF US

They passed me by
All of those great romances
You were, I felt
Robbing me of my rightful chances

My picture clear
Everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it’s different
I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead

One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself
Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That’s how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I’ve changed and I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead

One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself
Wishing she had never left at all

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead

One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself
Wishing she had never left at all


11. WATERLOO

My, my!
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah!
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way

The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you forever more
Waterloo
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

My, my!
I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah!
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight

And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you forever more
Waterloo
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you forever more
Waterloo
Couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo

Finally facing my Waterloo!


12. SUPER TROUPER

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won’t feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you

I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
(Wishing every show was the last show)

So imagine I was glad to hear you’re coming
(Glad to hear you’re coming)
Suddenly I feel all right
(And suddenly it’s gonna be)
And it’s gonna be so different
When I’m on the stage tonight

Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one

Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won’t feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still I’m thinking about you only
(Still I’m thinking about you only)

There are moments when I think I’m going crazy
(Think I’m going crazy)
But it’s gonna be alright
(You’ll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I’m on the stage tonight

Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one

Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won’t feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you

So I’ll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I’m still alive
And when you take me in your arms and hold me tight
I know it’s gonna mean so much tonight

Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one

Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won’t feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you

Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one


13. KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after

Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends
This is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we’re through

Breaking up is never easy
I know but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do

Mem’ries (mem’ries), good days (good days), bad days
They’ll be (they’ll be) with me (with me) always

In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there’s only emptiness
Nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we’re through

Breaking up is never easy
I know but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we’re through

Breaking up is never easy
I know but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do


14. DANCING QUEEN

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

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

You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the Dancing Queen

You’re a teaser, you turn ‘em on
Leave them 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

You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the Dancing Queen
Digging the Dancing Queen
Digging the Dancing Queen
Digging the Dancing Queen
