[Intro] [A super funky bassline kicks in, followed by a dramatic, sparkling string melody in ABBA style] (Lead: Put on your dancing shoes... the night is shining!) (Fem. Backing Vocals: Ahhh, disco fever!) [Verse 1] The trousers grow wide, the fabric shines bright in the night, The disco ball scatters a thousand reflections of light. The grand-kids wear platforms, the great-grand-kids are small, And we invite the whole family to come and dance in the hall! We got silver-white hair, but inside burned the brightest spark, Old age is not gonna leave us tonight in the dark! (Fem. Backing Vocals: Dance, dance!) (Lead: Yeah, the funk is right in our bones, sweetheart!) [Chorus] [Rich disco beat, driving bassline, sparkling synthesizer strings] We’re dancing the Disco Jive in a bright sea of light, As if the summer would last forever tonight! The Twenties were wild, the Fifties were hot, Now the whole family spins in a glittery pop-spot! The violins sing and the bass pumps so loud, Under neon lights, we are making everybody proud! [Verse 2] They're singing of "Waterloo" and "Dancing Queen" in the park, We know this beat, it's so close to our heart from the start! Six eras of music running deep right inside of our vein, We sure know the way to shake off the worry and pain! The great-grand-kids stare when great-grandpa lets out a cheer, And great-grandmother spins in her sequins as the chorus gets near. Life keeps rolling on like a colorful, wild river stream, And you just gotta jump right inside of the beautiful dream! (Fem. Backing Vocals: Gimme, gimme, gimme that beat!) (Lead: Make some space on the floor!) [Chorus] We’re dancing the Disco Jive in a bright sea of light, As if the summer would last forever tonight! The Twenties were wild, the Fifties were hot, Now the whole family spins in a glittery pop-spot! The violins sing and the bass pumps so loud, Under neon lights, we are making everybody proud! [Verse 3] We look at our family, a family tree grown so grand, And not a single moment would we ever change in this land. The times keep on changing, the fashions will fade and will go, But the love and the dancing will never stop putting on a show! We feel the deep groove, yeah, this living is truly a feast, And the magic tonight has forgotten the worst and the least. [Bridge] [The instruments calm down, just the rhythmic guitar "chack-a-chack" and the pumping bass] Can you feel the energy? It glitters all through the room... [The strings swell up dramatically and beautifully in the style of an ABBA intro] An unforgettable moment, chasing away all the gloom! Great-grandpa claps his hands, great-grandmother sings along, Because the whole family is cheering us on with this song! (Fem. Backing Vocals: Mamma mia, here we go!) (Lead: One, two, three – let those violins fly!) [Instrumental Solo] [An absolutely grand, melodic 1970s synthesizer and string solo in epic ABBA style, backed by a funky slap bassline] (Fem. Backing Vocals: You can dance, you can jive!) [A driving drum roll leads straight into the final chorus] [Chorus] [Maximum disco energy, full band explosion, hymnal backing choir] We’re dancing the Disco Jive in a bright sea of light, As if the summer would last forever tonight! The Twenties were wild, the Fifties were hot, Now the whole family spins in a glittery pop-spot! The violins sing and the bass pumps so loud, Under neon lights, we are making everybody proud! [Outro] [The music fades out happily with a sparkling synthesizer arpeggio and a final rich bass hit] Mamma Mia, what a dance! The Seventies belong to us! (Fem. Backing Vocals: Ahhh-ahhh... DANCING QUEEN!) (Lead: Uh-huh, thanks for this sparkling evening, my queen...) [End]
