(B. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus)

 

I was at a party

and this feller said to me:
“Something bad is happening

I’m sure you do agree
People care for nothing -
no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming
we are in for darker nights”
I said: “Who are you
to talk about impending doom?”
He got kinda wary
as he looked around the room
He said: “I’m a minister
a big shot in the state”
I said: “I just can’t believe it,

boy I think it’s great!
Brother can you tell me
what is right and what is wrong?”
He said: “Keep on rocking, baby
’til the night is gone”

On and on and on
keep on rocking baby
’til the night is gone

Over in the corner
I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty
he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage
of the fact that I’m a star
shook my hair and took
a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell
this guy was coming up to me
He said: “Who am I

and who are you

and who are we?
What’s our situation –

do we have some time for us?”
I said: “I was not exactly
waiting for the bus”
He said: “If you’re going somewhere

can I come along?”
I said: “Keep on rocking, baby
’til the night is gone”

On and on and on
keep on rocking baby
’til the night is gone
