[Intro: Frida & Agnetha]
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
Because somewhere in the crowd, there’s you

[Verse 1: Frida]
I was sick and tired of everything
When you called me last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
Wishing every show was the last show

[Pre-Chorus 1: Frida and Agentha, Benny & Björn]
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
Glad to hear you're coming
Suddenly I feel all right
And suddenly it’s gonna be
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

[Chorus: Frida & Agnetha, Benny & Björn]
Tonight, the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Smiling, having fun
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Feeling like a number one
Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Like I always do
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

[Verse 2: Frida]
Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still, I'm thinking about you only
Still, I'm thinking about you only

[Pre-Chorus 2: Frida and Agentha, Benny & Björn]
There are moments when I think I’m going crazy
Think I’m going crazy
But it's gonna be alright
You’ll soon be changing everything
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

[Chorus: Frida & Agnetha, Benny & Björn]
Tonight, the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Smiling, having fun
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Feeling like a number one
Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Like I always do
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you

[Bridge: Frida]
So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms, and hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight

[Chorus: Frida & Agnetha, Benny & Björn]
Tonight, the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Smiling, having fun
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Feeling like a number one
Tonight, the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Like I always do
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

[Chorus: Frida & Agnetha, Benny & Björn]
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Smiling, having fun
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Feeling like a number one
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
Like I always do
Sup-p-per Troup-p-per
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

[Outro]
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me

ABBA are one of the greatest pop outfits in history. Their blend of lush orchestrations and light, bouncy europop was both unique and commercially appealing, taking much of the world by storm.

The band name is a member-centric acronym – Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.

Their meteoric rise was sparked by their famed Eurovision performance of original song “Waterloo”, which caused them to win the 1974 competition in Sweden.
