PROLOGUE
Sophie:
I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail…
Sam Carmichael…
Bill Austin…
And Harry Bright!
Good luck…
HONEY, HONEY
Sophie:
Honey, honey
How he thrills me, aha, honey, honey
Honey, honey
Nearly kills me, aha, honey, honey
I’ve heard about him before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean
He’s a love machine
(Oh, he makes me dizzy)
Honey, honey
Let me feel it, aha, honey, honey
Honey, honey
Don’t conceal it, aha, honey, honey
The way that you kiss goodnight
Ali/Lisa:
Way that you kiss me goodnight
Sophie:
The way that you hold me tight
Ali/Lisa:
Way that yo’ure holding me tight
Sophie:
I feel like I wanna sing
Sophie/Ali/Lisa:
When you do your…thing
Sophie:
I want my Dad to give me away at my wedding, but according to Mum’s diary, I’ve got 3 possible dads…Sam, Bill or Harry.
Ali:
Sophie!
Lisa:
Do they know?
Sophie:
What do you write to a total stranger?
“Come to my wedding – you might be my dad”?
No, they think mum sent the invitations – and after reading this diary I’m not surprised they all said yes!
Sophie/Ali/Lisa:
Honey, honey
How you thrill me, aha, honey, honey
Honey, honey
Nearly kill me, aha, honey, honey
Sophie:
I’d heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I’m about to see
What you mean to me
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY
Donna:
I work all night, I work all day
To pay the bills I have to pay
Company:
Ain’t it sad?
Donna:
And still there never seems to be
A single penny left for me
Company:
That’s too bad
Donna:
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all
I’d fool around and have a ball…
Company:
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In a rich man’s world
Aha-aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
Tanya:
A man like that is hard to find
Donna:
But I can’t get him off my mind
All:
Ain’t it sad?
Rosie:
And if he happened to be free
I bet he wouldn’t fancy me
All:
That’s too bad
Pepper:
So I must leave, I’ll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game
My life will never be the same…
Company:
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In a rich man’s world
Donna:
Aha-aha
All the things I could do
Company:
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In a rich man’s world
Donna:
Aha-aha
All the things I could do
Company:
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
It’s a rich man’s world
THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC
Harry:
Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy
They’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Harry/Sophie:
Without a song or a dance what are we
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Sophie:
Mother says I was
A dancer before I could walk
She says I began
To sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered
How did it all start?
Who found out that nothing
Can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan
Sophie/Harry:
So I say
Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy
They’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Sophie:
I’ve been so lucky
I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance
Sophie/Harry/Bill:
Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy
They’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we
Sophie/Harry/Bill/Sam:
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music
Sophie:
For giving it to me
MAMMA MIA
Donna:
I was cheated by you
And I think you know when
So I made up my mind
It must come to an end
Look at me now
Will I ever learn?
I don’t know how
But I suddenly lose control
There’s a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Oh oh oh oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I should not have let you go.
I was angry and sad
When I knew we were through
I can’t count all the times
I have cried over you
Look at me now
Will I ever learn?
I don’t know how
But I suddenly lose control
There’s a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Oh oh oh oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I should not have let you go.
Donna:
What the hell are you all doing here?
Well, I’d love to sotp and chat,
but I have to go and clean out my handbag…or something.
Bill:
Age does not wither her.
Harry:
I was expecting a rather stout matron.
Sam:
No, she’s still Donna.
Donna/Sam/Bill/Harry:
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Oh oh oh oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I should not have let you go.
CHIQUITITA
Rosie:
Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrong
Tanya:
I have never seen such sorrow
Rosie & Tanya:
In your eyes, and the wedding is tomorrow
Tanya:
How I hate to see you like this
Rosie:
There is no way you can deny it
Tanya:
I can see that you’re
Oh so sad, so quiet
Rosie & Tanya:
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I’m a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I’m the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you’ve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Donna:
Try once more
Like I did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
DANCING QUEEN
Rosie & Tanya:
Ooh Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life, ooh ooh
See that girl, watch that scene
Diggin’ the Dancing Queen…
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Tanya:
Anybody can be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance…
Donna/Tanya/Rosie:
You are the Dancing Queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh yeah –
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life, ooh ooh
See that girl, watch that scene
Diggin’ the Dancing Queen
Donna:
You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
Leave ’em burning
And then you’re gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a hace
And when you get the chance
Donna/Tanya/Rosie:
You are the Dancing Queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh yeah –
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life, ooh ooh
See that girl, watch that scene
Diggin’ the Dancing Queen
Diggin’ the Dancing Queen
See that girl, watch that scene
Diggin’ the Dancing Queen
LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME
Sky:
I wasn’t jealous before we met
Now every man that I see is a potential threat
And I’m possessive
It isn’t nice
You’ve heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn’t true
Now everything is new
And all I’ve learned
Has overturned
I beg of you –
Sophie:
Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small-talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don’t know
What you’ve done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don’t have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear
Sky:
Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Boys:
Don’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Sophie:
I’ve had a few little love affairs
They didn’t last very long and they’ve been pretty scarce
Sky:
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
Sophie:
‘Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I’ve learned
Has overturned
What can I do?
Sky/Pepper/Eddie/Boys:
Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
Girls:
Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
SUPER TROUPER
Donna & the Dynamos:
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won’t feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you
Donna:
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
So imagine I was glad to hear you’re coming
Suddenly I feel all right
And it’s gonna be so different
When I’m on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Donna & the Dynamos & Girls:
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won’t feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you
Donna:
Facing twenty-thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still I’m thinking about you only
There are moments when I think I’m going crazy
But it’s gonna be alright
And it’s gonna be so different
When I’m on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Donna & the Dynamos & Girls:
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one

But I won’t feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the crowd there’s you
Donna:
So I’ll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I’m still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it’s gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the
Donna & the Dynamos & Girls:
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won’t feel blue

Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!
Girls:
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer …
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Sophie:
Sorry to drag you away
Sam:
Thank God you did, this used to be a quiet wee island.
Sophie:
Regretting you stayed away so long?
Sam:
No, I’m regretting I never knew what was here.
Sophie:
What?
Sam:
This place – the Taverna. I always meant to come back and build it someday, but – she beat me to it.
Sophie:
Do you prefer buildings to people?
Sam:
What?!
Sophie:
Tell me something about my mum.
Sam:
Your mum was irresistible, a one-off. We talked and we fought – you know it was me that brought her to this island?
Sophie:
That wasn’t the only thing you did, was it?
Sam:
Oh right, what has she told you?
Sophie:
Nothing. She’s never mentioned you.
Sam:
But you said, “Mum’s always talking about her friends from the old days.” What’s going on? Sophie, why am I here?
Girls:
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer …
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Harry:
Fancy Donna with a grown-up daughter!
Sophie:
Have you got any children, Harry?
Harry:
No, I haven’t put myself in the path of paternity.
Sophie:
It’s never too late.
Harry:
I don’t think my other half would agree.
Sophie:
Oh – you don’t want children?
Harry:
No, no, it’s not that. It’s just that…well, I’d have liked a daughter. I’d have spoiled her to bits.
Sophie:
Lucky thing.
Harry:
Is your dad here?
Sophie:
I don’t know.
Harry:
What?
Sophie:
I don’t know who my dad is.
Girls:
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer …
Bill:
Can I be nosey? I’m a writer, so it goes with the territory.
Sophie:
Go on.
Bill:
How did your mother get this place? When I knew her, she was singing in a nightclub on the mainland.
Sophie:
She was left some money in a will. We lived with an old lady when I was little. Her name was Sophia.
Bill:
What, my Great-Aunt Sophia?
Sophie:
I think it must be.
Bill:
But…I always heard her money went to family…
Wait a minute – how old are you?
Sophie:
Twenty!
Girls:
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
THE NAME OF THE GAME
Sophie
I’ve seen you twice in a short time
Only a day since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I’m getting more open-hearted
Your smile and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
So I wanna know
What’s the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What’s the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, ’cause I have to know
I’m a curious child, beginning to grow
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I’m trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know –
What’s the name of the game
Bill:
I’ll talk to your mother tonight
Sophie:
Does it mean anything to you?
