[Verse 1]
I can hear how you work, practising hard
Playing night and day, woah woah
And it sounds better now
Yes, you improve every time you play, woah woah

[Pre-Chorus]
But it's bad
You're so sad
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin

[Chorus]
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby

[Post-Chorus]
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Wish I was, dum dum diddle, your darling fiddle

[Verse 2]
But I think you don't know that I exist
I'm the quiet kind, woah woah
From the day when I first listened to you
You've been on my mind, woah woah

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't care
It's not fair
And you're only smiling
When you play your violin

[Chorus]
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby

[Post-Chorus]
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time

[Chorus]
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
To be so near you and not just hear you
Dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
I think then maybe you'd see me, baby

[Post-Chorus]
You'd be mine
And we'd be together all the time
Wish I was, dum dum diddle, your darling fiddle

ABBA

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.
