When he was about seventeen   He stole a magazine   'dancing queen'   The frontpage girl called marilyn   She looked pretty, lean   And quite obscene      He knew   She'd never let him down   Like every other one in town   She was the only one      Marilyn the dancing queen   Was smiling from his   Tv screen   Marilyn the dancing queen   Was always loving in his   Sweetest dream      He tried to call the magazine   Left a message on   Their answer machine   That his in love with marilyn   If she could phone him back   He would be keen      He knew   She'd never let him down   Like every other one in town   She was the only one      Marilyn the dancing queen   Was smiling from his   Tv screen   Marilyn the dancing queen   Was loving in   His sweetest dream   Marilyn, oh marilyn   Champagne, strawberries and cream   Marilyn, oh marilyn   Satin, lace and velveteen   Seet sweet dream   Seet sweet dream
