MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN
Well, here we go... Welcome back! It’s been ten years since MAMMA MIA! THE MOVIE. Ten years The less familiar songs are a delightful (re)discovery. ‘Even if you don’t know an ABBA song,’

cogitate, and consider how – or even if – a second film could follow the success of the first. Meryl Streep puts it, ‘ABBA’s songs are in our DNA’. Each contains that inherent dramatic quality
that inspired Judy Craymer in the first place; Benny applauds Björn’s skill at creating these
It was, let’s face it, a very hard act to follow. A movie that was the highest-grossing live-action ‘3–minute short stories’. The songs engender and reinforce the rich emotion of the film,
musical film of all time, with a record-breaking DVD sale. The soundtrack, a Billboard #1, the themes of motherhood and family, of loss and of love which resonate universally.

The upside of those intervening years – including ‘five years to recover from the first one’, as Judy Oxford graduation ceremony, ‘an absolute banger’ in Ol Parker’s phrase, rubs shoulders with
Craymer drily observes – was the space to let potential storylines gestate, and build on the work that original warhorse ‘Waterloo’. Here it gets a full-on treatment as young Donna encounters

2 I WONDER (DEPARTURE)
Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus & Stig Anderson

This park and these houses


Old streets I have walked
Everything dear, will it be here
One day when I am returning
My friends will get married
Have children and homes
It sounds so nice
Well planned and wise
Never expecting surprises
I wonder
It’s frightening
Leaving now
Is that the right thing?
I wonder
It scares me Leaving now
But who the hell am I Is that the right thing?
If I don’t even try? I wonder
1 WHEN I KISSED THE TEACHER Leaning over me, she was trying to explain
the laws of geometry
I’m not a coward It scares me
But who the hell am I
Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus Oh no, I’ll be strong
And I couldn’t help it One chance in a lifetime If I don’t even try?
Everybody screamed I just had to kiss the teacher Yes I will take it I’m not a coward
When I kissed the teacher What a mad day It can’t go wrong Oh no, I’ll be strong
And they must have thought they dreamed Now I see everything My friends are my family One chance in a lifetime
When I kissed the teacher In a different light This city I love Yes I will take it
All my friends at school What a mad day Buses I’ve missed It can’t go wrong
They had never seen the teacher blush I was up in the air Boys that I’ve kissed Yes I will take it
She looked like a fool And she taught me a lesson alright Everything old and familiar It can’t go wrong
Nearly petrified What a crazy day I wonder
Cos she was taken by surprise When I kissed the teacher It’s frightening
When I kissed the teacher All my sense had flown away
Couldn’t quite believe her eyes, When I kissed the teacher
When I kissed the teacher My whole class went wild
My whole class went wild As I held my breath,
As I held my breath The world stood still
The world stood still But then she just smiled
But then she just– I was in the seventh heaven
–smiled When I kissed the teacher
Smiled (I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
I was in the seventh heaven When I kissed the teacher
When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug him)
What a mad day When I kissed the teacher
Ah Ah Ah (I wanna hug, hug, hug him)
Now I see everything When I kissed the teacher
In a different light (I wanna hug, hug him)
What a mad day When I kissed the teacher
I was up in the air
And she taught me a lesson alright
I was in a trance
When I kissed the teacher
Suddenly I took the chance
When I kissed the teacher

Stubborn and misconceiving
That’s how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I’ve changed
And I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead.
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
3 ONE OF US Waiting for a call
Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus Sorry for herself feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
They pass me by Never left at all
All of those great romances Staring at the ceiling
It’s as if you’re Wishing she was somewhere else instead
Robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear
Everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it’s different – Knowing my fate, is to be with you 5 WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME?
I want you to know... Woh, woh, woh, woh
Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus
One of us is crying Waterloo –
One of us is lying – Finally facing my Waterloo When you were lonely, you needed a man
In her lonely bed My, my, I tried to hold you back Someone to lean on, well I understand
Staring at the ceiling But you were stronger It’s only natural
Wishing she was Oh yeah – But why did it have to be me?
Somewhere else instead – and now it seems my only chance is giving Nights can be empty, and nights can be cold
One of us is lonely up the fi ght So you were looking for someone to hold
One of us is only And how could I ever refuse That’s only natural
Waiting for a call I feel like I win when I lose But why did it have to be me?
Sorry for himself 4 WATERLOO Waterloo – I was so lonesome, I was blue
Feeling stupid feeling small – I was defeated, you won the war I couldn’t help it, it had to be you and I
Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus & Stig Anderson
Wishing he had never left at all Waterloo – Always thought you knew the reason why
I saw myself My, my, at Waterloo – Promise to love you, for ever more I only wanted a little love affair
As a concealed attraction Napoleon did surrender Waterloo - Now I can see you are beginning to care
I felt you kept me away Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny – Couldn’t escape, if I wanted to But baby, believe me
From the heat and the action In quite a similar way Waterloo – Knowing my fate It’s better to forget me
Just like a child The history book on the shelf Is to be with you Men are the toys in the game that you play
Is always repeating itself Woh, woh, woh, woh When you get tired, you throw them away
Waterloo – Waterloo – Finally facing my Waterloo That’s only natural
– I was defeated, you won the war So how could I ever refuse But why did it have to be me?
Waterloo – I feel like I win when I lose Falling in love with a woman like you
– Promise to love you, for ever more Waterloo – couldn’t escape if I wanted to Happens so quickly, there’s nothing to do
Waterloo – Waterloo – knowing my fate is to be with you It’s only natural
– Couldn’t escape, if I wanted to Woh, woh, woh, woh But why did it have to be me?
Waterloo – Waterloo – fi nally facing my Waterloo I was so lonesome, I was blue
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I couldn’t help it, it had to be you and I
Waterloo – knowing my fate is to be with you

Though we never thought
That we could lose
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we’re old and grey Fernando
And since many years
I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night
We crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight
For freedom in this land
There was something
I lay my life before you In the air that night
bo I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU I only want you more and more The stars were bright, Fernando
Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
& Stig Anderson
And finally it seems They were shining there For liberty, Fernando
My lonely days are through For you and me Though we never thought
I, I have known love before For liberty, Fernando That we could lose
I thought it would no more I’ve been waiting for you
Ohhhh Though we never thought There’s no regret
Take on a new direction That we could lose If I had to do the same again
Still, strange as it seems to be I’ve been waiting –
– For you There’s no regret I would, my friend, Fernando
It’s truly new to me If I had to do the same again Yes, if I had to do the same again
That affection I would, my friend, Fernando I would, my friend, Fernando

You’re all that And softly strumming your guitar

bs THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME I must have read a while The day before you came And rattling on the roof I must have heard
The latest Margaret Atwood book or something And turning out the light the sound of rain
Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus
in that style I must have yawned and settled in for yet The day before you came
I must have left my house at eight because It’s funny, but I had no sense of living without aim another night
I always do
My train, I’m certain, left the station just when
it was due
I must have read the morning papers going
into town
And having gotten through the editorials,
no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter
after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting
to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve
or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I’m pretty sure it must have
rained
The day before you came
I must have lit my second cigarette at half
past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business
of the day
And without really knowing anything I hid a part
of me away
At six I must have left, there’s no exception
to the rule
A matter of routine, I’ve done it ever since
I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening papers
then
Oh yes, I’m sure my life was well within
its usual frame
The day before you came
I must have opened my front door at
eight o’clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese
food to go
I’m sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There’s not a single episode of House of Cards that
I have failed to see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter
after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed
by then
