[Verse 1]
Put on your white sombrero
Saddle your horse my dear
And ride off into the sunset
You'd better go for there is no
Place for you here

[Verse 2]
Like an old fashioned hero
You stand before me
Oh, you think our life is a movie
My world is real I live and feel
And I can do without you

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Put on your white sombrero
Your red bandanna too
Think of this day as a showdown
Goodbye my friend, this is the end
For me and you

[Verse 4]
Now be a bold vaquero
Don't show your feelings
I'll cry while you're disappearing
Into the night, all dressed in white
Unchained and free, without me

[Verse 5]
Put on your white sombrero
Like all the cowboys do
Go find a sweet señorita
Somebody meek, who'll never speak
Harshly to you

[Verse 6]
You're such a caballero
Proud, never bending
I want someone who will take me
Just as I am, I need a man
Who is in rhyme with his time

[Outro]
Oh, you'll never take me
Just as I am, I need a man
Who is in rhyme with his time

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.
