Waterloo
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
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 for ever 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 for ever 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 for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

Sitting In The Palmtree
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
See me sitting in the palm tree
Looking down at people passing by
Sitting here no one can harm me
They just stare at me and wonder why
No need to bother
I'm gonna stay up here
Whatever happens
I won't let no one near
Until you tell me
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
Won't you please
You really love me
Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine
Yes you are now
And in the evening
When the sun goes down
I'll be the bluest
Of men in this town
'Cause I love you
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
See me sitting in the palm tree
Waiting for those little words from you
People laugh and point their fingers
Like I was a monkey at the zoo
But I will stay here
Among my coconuts
So you will know dear
You're everything I've got
Now won't you tell me
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
Winds blow
Stars glow
I see a light in her window
Dark trees
Soft breeze
Carry my message to her, please
See me sitting in the palm tree
Getting angry at the silly crowd
No one else but you can calm me
You should know by now I'm far too proud
I need to show you
I've got my feelings too
You shouldn't treat me
Like you always do
So won't you tell me
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
Won't you please
You really love me
Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine
Yes you are now
And in the evening
When the sun goes down
I'll be the bluest
Of men in this town
'Cause I love you
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine

King Kong Song
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Well, I was looking at a movie on the TV last night
Then I had a very funny notion, yeah
I really had to write a song about it
And then I'm gonna sing it with my rock'n roll band
And I bet the people gonna like it, yeah
I know that everybody's gonna shout it
But what a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla
We do the King Kong song
Won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the King Kong song
Gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song
Now we can make a jungle out of any old place
We can make gorillas out of people, yeah
Well, who can tell a monkey from a monkey?
So, people get together, gonna have a good time
Everybody listen to the music, yeah
The song we're gonna sing is kinda funky
So let your arms hang down
And waddle all around
Like a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla
We do the King Kong song
Won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the King Kong song
Gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song
Like a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla
We do the King Kong song
Won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the King Kong song
Gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom

Hasta Manana
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
Where is the spring and the summer
That once was yours and mine?
Where did it go?
I just don't know
But still my love for you will live forever
Hasta manana 'till we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta Manana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta manana baby, hasta manana until then
Where is the dream we were dreaming
And all the nights we shared
Where did they go?
I just don't know
And I can't tell you just how much I miss you
Hasta manana 'till we meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
Darling, our love was much too strong to die
We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
Hasta Manana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better
Hasta manana baby, hasta manana until then
Hasta Manana, say we'll meet again
I can't do without you
Time to forget, send me a letter
Say you forgive, the sooner the better

My Mama Said
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Tried to sneak out without saying
With my loudest record playing
Ooh, my mama said, "Look at this, you haven't done your bed"
My mama said, "That's a thing that you should do instead"
Then I did what she had told me
Dying for my friend to hold me
Ooh, my mama said, "Try and get one thing into your head" My mama said, "Pa and
me, we give you room and bed"
How I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
In the morning she said, "Listen,"
Ooh, I felt like in a prison
Yeah, my mama said, "I know you've been out again with Fred" (my mama said)
My mama said, "Don't you lie, your cheeks are blushing red" (my mama said)
Oh, I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
I said, "I can't live without it"
"How I wish you wouldn't doubt it"
Ooh, my mama said, "If you wanna hurt me go ahead" (my mama said)
My mama said, "I suppose you'd rather see me dead?" (my mama said)
Oh, I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life

Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Oh, my love it makes me sad
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?
Baby, give me one more
Dance, while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance, and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance, it's our way to say goodbye
Yes, all we have to do is
Dance, while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
But we didn't make it 'cause nothing's the same
We just couldn't help it, nobody's to blame
So dance, while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye
Yet, it seems to make me sad
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?
Baby, give me one last
Dance, while the music still goes on
Just like the night I met you
Dance, and believe me, when you're gone
You know I won't forget you
Our love was a snowbird, it's flying away
You tell me it's over, what more can I say?
So dance, while the music still goes on
It's gonna be our last goodbye
Dance, while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance, and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance, while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye
Dance, while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
Dance, while the music still goes on
Just like the night I met you
Dance, and believe me, when you're gone
You know I won't forget you

Honey Honey
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy
Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey
The way that you kiss good night
The way that you hold me tight
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing
I don't wanna hurt you baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground girl, you better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you boy, you'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, touch me baby, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me baby, a-ha, honey honey
You look like a movie star (look like a movie star)
But I know just who you are (I wonder just who you are)
And honey, to say the least, you're a doggone beast
So stay on the ground girl, you better not get too high
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey
I'd heard about you before (I'd heard about you before)
I wanted to know some more (I wanted to know you some more)
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine Oh, you make me dizzy

What About Livingstone
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Went to buy me a paper at the local newsstand
And then I heard them laugh and say
Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now
Hey, what's it good for anyway?
So I said fellas Like to ask you a thing if I may
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
And all of those fellas at the local newsstand
Didn't know what to answer or what to say
So I told them about him, that he was just like
One of those spacemen in his way
And if you laugh at them
Then there's only a thing I can say
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?
What about Livingstone? (didn't he do it, well didn't he)
What about all those men? (didn't he do it, well didn't he)
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while (didn't he do it, well didn't he)
Travelling up the Nile (didn't he do it)
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest? (didn't that help them, well didn't it)
Wasn't it worth it then?

Watch Out

You move like a flame of fire
You rise like a flash of lightning
You light such a warm desire
And I'm gonna tame you, wild thing

Suzy-Hang-Around
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Suzy was nine and I was ten
Right at the time when boys like to think they're men
She used to follow us from school
We really thought that she was a little fool
And one day we said to her
We don't wanna hurt you girl
But you better
Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say
Suzy-hang-around
Suzy went home to mama's arms
Mama said, "Look, she's never done you no harm!
So get off her back and let her be
Why can't you play together in harmony?"
We really didn't know what to say
But as soon as she went away
We laughed and said
Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say
Suzy-hang-around
Yes, you better
Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say
Suzy-hang-around
