You can dance, you can jive  
Having the time of your life  
See that girl, watch that scene  
Digging the dancing queen

Mamma mia, here I go again  
My my, how can I resist you?  
Mamma mia, does it show again?  
My my, just how much I’ve missed you  
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted  
Blue since the day we parted  
Why, why did I ever let you go?  
Mamma mia, now I really know,  
My my, I could never let you go.

Oh, my man, I love him so, he’ll never know  
All my life is just despair, but I don’t care  
When he takes me in his arms  
The world is bright, all right…

So take a look at me now  
Well there’s just an empty space  
And there’s nothing left here to remind me  
Just the memory of your face  
Well take a look at me now  
Well there’s just an empty space  
And you coming back to me is against the odds  
And that’s what I’ve got to face

Are you going away with no word of farewell?  
Will there be not a trace left behind?  
Well, I could have loved you better,  
Didn’t mean to be unkind.  
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

Good morning America how are you?  
See, don’t you know me? I’m your native son  
I’m the train they call The City of New Orleans  
And I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Forced out - brave and mighty  
Stolen land - they can’t fight it  
Hold on to pride and tradition  
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin’  
We’re dissin’ them  
On reservations  
A hopeless situation  
Cry for the Indians  
Die for the Indians

Bury my heart at Wounded Knee  
Deep in the Earth  
Cover me with pretty lies

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,  
Go ahead and cheat a friend.  
Do it in the name of Heaven,  
You can justify it in the end.  
There won’t be any trumpets blowing  
Come the judgment day,  
On the bloody morning after…  
One tin soldier rides away.

He’s five foot two and he’s six feet four  
He fights with missiles and with spears  
He’s all of thirty-one and he’s only seventeen  
Been a soldier for a thousand years

In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn’t  
It was different in many ways, as so were those that did the fighting  
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26  
In Vietnam he was 19  
In-in-in Vietnam he was 19

And you never did think  
That it ever would happen again  
In America, did you?  
You never did think  
That we’d ever get together again  
We damn sure fooled you  
Yeah, we’re walkin’ real proud  
And we’re talkin’ real loud again  
In America  
You never did think  
That it ever would happen again
