Songwriter: Björn Ulvaeus Benny Andersson

Producer: Björn Ulvaeus Benny Andersson

[Verse 1: Björn]
See me sitting in the palm tree
Looking down at people passing by
Sitting here no one can harm me
They just stare at me and wonder why

[Pre-Chorus: Björn]
No need to bother, I'm gonna stay up here
Whatever happens, I won't let no one near

[Chorus: Björn]
Until you tell me
Ginny, Ginny on my mind, won't you please
You really love me
Ginny, Ginny oh so fine, yes you are now
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
I'll be the bluest of men in this town
'Cause I love you
Ginny, Ginny on my mind

[Verse 2: Björn]
See me sitting in the palm tree
Waiting for those little words from you
People laugh and point their fingers
Like I was a monkey at the zoo

[Pre-Chorus: Björn]
But I will stay here, among my coconuts
So you will know dear, you're everything I've got
Now won't you tell me, Ginny, Ginny on my mind

[Bridge: Agnetha & Frida]
Winds blow, stars glow
I see a light in her window
Dark trees, soft breeze
Carry my message to her, please

[Verse 3: Björn]
See me sitting in the palm tree
Feeling angry at the silly crowd
No one else but you can calm me
You should know by now I'm far too proud

[Pre-Chorus: Björn]
I need to show you, I've got my feelings too
You shouldn't treat me like you always do

[Chorus: Björn]
So won't you tell me
Ginny, Ginny on my mind, won't you please
You really love me
Ginny, Ginny oh so fine, yes you are now
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
I'll be the bluest of men in this town
'Cause I love you
Ginny, Ginny on my mind

[Outro: Björn]
Ginny, Ginny oh so fine
Ginny, Ginny on my mind
Ginny, Ginny oh so fine
Ginny, Ginny on my mind
Ginny, Ginny oh so fine
Ginny, Ginny on my mind

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.
