When I Kissed The Teacher
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
Everybody screamed
When I kissed the teacher
And they must have thought they dreamed
When I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen the teacher blush
He looked like a fool
Nearly petrified 'cause he was taken
By surprise (hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
Couldn't quite believe his eyes (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss
him)
When I kissed the teacher (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath
The world stood still
But then he just smiled (smiled, I wanna kiss him)
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance (oh, my I wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
Suddenly I took the chance (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (oh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
Leaning over me
He was trying to explain the laws of geometry (hug him, wanna kiss him)
And I couldn't help it
I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
One of these days
Gonna show him I care
Gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day (hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (ooh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
All my sense had flown away (ooh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
When I kissed the teacher (ooh, hug hug him, wanna kiss him, wanna kiss him)
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath
The world stood still
But then he just smiled (smiled, I wanna kiss him)
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug him)

Dancing Queen
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come 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
Dig in 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
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
Dig in the dancing queen

My Love, My Life
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
I've seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase
So now we'll go separate ways
Never again we two
Never again, nothing I can do
Like an image passing by
My love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes
My love, my life
I can see it all so clearly (see it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely (answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind
My love, my life
Are the words you try to find
My love, my life
But I know I don't possess you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only
I've watched you look away
Tell me, is it really so hard to say?
Oh, this has been my longest day
Sitting here close to you
Knowing that maybe tonight we're through
Like an image passing by
My love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes
My love, my life
I can see it all so clearly (see it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely (answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind
My love, my life
Are the words you try to find
My love, my life
But I know I don't possess you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only

Dum Dum Diddle
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
I can hear how you work, practicing hard
Playing night and day
And it sounds better now, Yes you improve
Every time you play
But it's bad
You're so sad
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin
Dum dum diddle
To be your fiddle
To be so near ya
And not just hear ya
Dum dum diddle
To be your fiddle
I think then maybe
You'd see me, baby
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Wish I was
Dum dum diddle
Your darling fiddle
But I think you don't know that I exist
I'm the quiet kind
From the day when I first listened to you
You've been on my mind
You don't care
It's not fair
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin
Dum dum diddle
To be your fiddle
To be so near ya
And not just hear ya
Dum dum diddle
To be your fiddle
I think then maybe
You'd see me, baby
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Dum dum diddle
To be your fiddle
To be so near ya
And not just hear ya
Dum dum diddle
To be your fiddle
I think then maybe
You'd see me, baby
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Wish I was
Dum dum diddle
Your darling fiddle

Knowing Me, Knowing You
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
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 (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through (this time we're through, this time we're through, this
time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go (I have to go, this time I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
Memories, good days, bad days (memories, good days, bad days)
They'll be with me always (they'll be, with me, always)
In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there's only emptiness
Nothing to say
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through (this time we're through, this time we're through, this
time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go (I have to go, this time I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Money, Money, Money
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
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
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

That's Me
(B. Andersson, S. Anderson, B. Ulvaeus)
Are you sure you wanna hear more?
What if I ain't worth the while?
Not the style you've been looking for?
If I'm sweet tonight
Things look different in the morning light
I'm jealous and I'm proud
If you hurt my feelings I'll cry out loud
I'm Carrie
Not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me
Are you sure you wanna hear more?
Would I be the one you seek?
Mild and meek like the girl next door?
Don't you realise
I may be an angel in disguise?
It's lonely to be free
But I'm not a man's toy
I'll never be
I'm Carrie
Not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me
I don't believe in fairy tales
Sweet nothings in my ear (no no-no nothings, no no-no nothings)
But I do believe in sympathy
That's me, you see
Are you sure you wanna hear more?
Won't you have a drink with me?
Just to see you're not really sore?
I can't help my ways
I'm just not the girl to hide my face
I'm Carrie
Not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me
I'm Carrie
Not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me
There's a special love
Like an eagle flying with a dove
I'll find it in the end
If I keep on searching
But until then
I'm Carrie
Not-the-kind-of-girl-you'd-marry
That's me

Why Did It Have To Be Me
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well, I understand
It's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
Nights can be empty, and nights can be cold
So you were looking for someone to hold
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
I was so lonesome
I was blue
I couldn't help it
It had to be you
And I always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are Beginning to care
But baby, believe me
It's better to forget me
Men are the toys in the game that you play
When you get tired you throw 'em away
That's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
Falling in love with a woman like you
Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do
It's only natural
But why did it have to be me?
I was so lonesome
I was blue
I couldn't help it
It had to be you
And I always thought you knew the reason why
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are Beginning to care
But baby, believe me
It's better to forget me

Tiger
(B. Andersson, B. Ulvaeus)
The city is a jungle
You better take care
Never walk alone after midnight
If you don't believe it
You better beware
Of me
I am behind you
I always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me
Never go near me
I am the tiger
The city is a nightmare
A horrible dream
Some of us will dream it forever
Look around the corner
And try not to scream
It's me
I am behind you
I always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me
Never go near me
I am the tiger
Yellow eyes
Are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes
The spotlights of the city nights
I am behind you
I always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me
Never go near me
I am the tiger
The city is a prison
You never escape
You're forever trapped in the alleys
Look into the shadows
And you'll see the shape of me
I am behind you
I always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me
Never go near me
I am the tiger
Yellow eyes
Are glowing like the neon lights
Yellow eyes
The spotlights of the city nights
I am behind you
I always find you
I am the tiger
People who fear me
Never go near me
I am the tiger
And if I meet you
What if I eat you?
I am the tiger
I am behind you
I'll always find you
I am the tiger
Tiger
Tiger
Tiger
