Released: April 23, 1979

Songwriter: Benny Andersson Björn Ulvaeus

Producer: Benny Andersson Björn Ulvaeus

[Verse 1]
I believe your new girl turned you down
And they say she's pushing you around
How does it feel? I guess it hurts your pride
Tell me my friend, how many nights you cried

[Chorus]
Disaster and disgrace - the king has lost his crown
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

[Verse 2]
Was it hard to step down from your throne
And to know tonight you're all alone?
Oh, what a shame, you really want that girl
She doesn't care, still, you just dream of her

[Chorus]
Disaster and disgrace - the king has lost his crown
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Disaster and disgrace - the word is all around
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

[Outro]
Disaster and disgrace - the word is all around
Suddenly he's clumsy like a clown

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.
