ABBA - On And On And On Lyrics






I was at a party and this fella said to me
"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree
People care for nothing, no respect for human rights
Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights"
I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?"
He got kinda wary as he looked around the room
He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state"
I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great
Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?"
He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

Over in the corner I could see this other guy
He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye
So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star
Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar
And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me
He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we?
What's our situation, do we have some time for us?"
I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus
He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?"
I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
Keep on rocking baby
'Til the night is gone
On and on and on
'Til the night is gone

[Extra Video Verse]
Standing up is scary if you think you're gonna fall
Like a Humpty Dumpty, 'fraid of falling off the wall
I say if you ever want to know what's going on
Gotta keep on rockin baby till the night is gone

[repeat chorus and fade]

  1. D.... K....

    Ok. I’m not gonna lie. I’m an 80’s baby that loves abba.....yet some of this is not good.

  2. H.... H....

    What a catchy tune....even in November 2019.....on and on and on....

  3. j.... f....

    I love the lyrics to this song. Seems to be pretty relevant for today and the times we live in. One of the best album tracks the band did,I still mind sitting next to the old record player, volume up and just drinking in the "sound" and production on this even at a young age, you could hear this band produced magic in their material.

  4. R.... K....

    🅰🅱🅱🅰❤❤❤❤👌👍

  5. c.... e....

    hits forever!

  6. n.... r....

    Costumes weren’t as good as the music.

  7. P.... R....

    ABBA 2019 ,?? SIM ABBA PARA SEMPRE........💕💕

  8. P.... H....

    I grew up listening to ABBA and this was always one of my favorites 💖

  9. M.... M....

    Greatest pop group of all time .POP group. Yes I loved tham as well.

  10. M.... M....

    450 thumbs down ? Who are these schmucks ?

  11. J.... I....

    Abba❤️

  12. m.... ....

    I noticed new lyrics I've never heard

  13. R.... K....

    🅰🅱🅱🅰❤❤❤❤👍

  14. L.... M....

    2019... On and On and On!...

  15. V.... S....

    This is great storytelling over super catchy music!

    Every note musically fits, syncs to evolve and flow into great music.

    Only ABBA do it with such finesse and in a magical groove, it so fully sweeps and binds the listener!

    It's ABBA - on and on ..

    V.... S....

    Sounds like a great song for listening super loud in a nightclub

  16. J.... O....

    ABBA, super en concierto lo máximo, grandes voces únicas como Bellas 100% talentosas y, sexys.

  17. O.... ....

    papa labomba golpio la meza letiro el vbato con la becza

  18. D.... M....

    This fenomenal song never became a hit because of the idiotical "Disco Backlash" circus at Comescie Park in Chicago 1980

    D.... M....

    In the US white guys were jealous because black dudes would dance and flirt with the white chicks. White guys can't dance, so they spoil the fun

  19. K.... G....

    One of the best songs from Super Trouper, by this time they had moved towards perfection in music.

  20. s.... ....

    ABBA is well known for their awesome music but I wonder how many people are aware of how politically active they were (they were huge supporters of the revolutionary movements of the 70’s) and how that influenced a number of their songs - like this one.

  21. C.... D....

    Not too many versions that include the "Standing up is scary.." verse. The best version. Nice stop-motion video too. You win the prize for best video for this song. I forgive you for not calling her "Ann-Frida, and ruining the acronym.

  22. O.... P....

    ABBA 1980-2019 The Best for ever...!!! ❤❤❤❤

  23. M.... E....

    Still listening to it today. They was way ahead of their Time.

  24. c.... b....

    Fridas rocks...

  25. V.... ....

    Almost impressed by the ridiculous lyrics ...

  26. Z.... R....

    i love powerpoint

  27. E.... H....

    Absolutely should have been a world wide single release. The lyrics are superb, the singing is amazing, the bass is not intrusive but incredibly hooky and Benny, I can only imagine his bouncability being in overdrive on this. An absolute stonker of a tune, a B side that so should have been a hit. Love it

    E.... H....

    I find it perfect for a dance floor

  28. K.... M....

    my daughter is 9 and she is listening to abba

  29. S.... N....

    I love, love, love this song!

  30. a.... 7....

    I love abba 😍😍

  31. M.... D....

    I was born in 1965 and can't really remember when they won the Songfestival. But I do remember how in the second half of the seventies their songs just went on and on and on..... almost ALWAYS the latest ABBA song could be heared on the radio. Well that is at least how it was in my memories.

  32. L.... H....

    Never though I could like such a song, but it's so damned great to listen to this two voices!

  33. S.... S....

    Vad vore musikvärlden utan Abba.

  34. r.... ....

    Their most disco'ish hit. I danced to it in the clubs.

  35. W.... L....

    Isso nao e uma banda, e uma orquestra.

  36. J.... S....

    This is a totally forgotten song of theirs that was very popular in the early 1980s, but completely forgotten about afterwords! I’m glad I finally found it!

  37. E.... G....

    You know it was time to consider retirement when Benny started writing three chord rock'n'roll.

  38. M.... T....

    I could listen to ABBA on and on and on, and some days I do I do I do I do I do!!!

    M.... T....

    Are you on some bad drugs? Me too! :)

    M.... T....

    @yubunda Hahahahaha ha hah! Nope; just high on life, baby! :)

  39. E.... V....

    tidløs sang ifra Sveriges største gruppe noensinne.

  40. S.... ....

    2:57 the unique verse that wasn't on the CD

    S.... ....

    True. How seamlessly it fits in!

  41. G.... N....

    Each time I listen to their music I'm inspired.

  42. J.... G....

    On And On And On...ABBA should have gone on and on and on, but alas! all good things come to an end. Even the four greatest musicians whoever lived, ABBA, came to an end. Like my better half keeps saying, "getting old really sucks." As for ABBA, thank God for Youtube and all those who posted and post ABBA. On and on and on, hopefully forever!!!

  43. j.... r....

    abba rocks.

  51. T.... D....

    This song is so cool!! I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star, strolled up to the casino bar. That is so so cool and correct!!!!!! and he said who are you and who are we? I don't know all of it exactly, but whatever it said is so fucking cool. Now that would be a good pick up line. Who are you and who are we!!!!! Terrific. This song just makes you feel good. The greatness of their music is that the songs do make you good and they do make you feel like dancing!!! For real. All their songs do!!!!!!! and gee I might think really seriously about moving to Sweden.!!!!!!!!! Just absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!!!! Everybody who thinks they can play or sing music: take a big, big, big lesson from ABBA!!!!! The very best classy, elegant, soulful, heart touching, true, wonderful, Genius lyrics.Wow!!!!!! Thank You ABBA!!!!!

    T.... D....

    Therese DeBarr : "I might think really seriously about moving to Sweden!!!!!!!" For the soul-deadening socialism, or the resultant influx of Mu§lim rape gangs? You might want to rethink that.

    T.... D....

    You know, Sweden has changed a lot since the 70's.

  52. S.... A....

    Actually it was inspired by " do it again" also from Beach Boys

  72. D.... ....

    I didn’t grow up during ABBA’s time however my parents always played it so it reminds me of my childhood

  73. L.... O....

    One of my life's wish is to see them sing life on stage!!!!
    The new generation has no idea what great music is...

  74. w.... ....

    I've never heard this song of theirs before. I love it!!!

  75. w.... ....

    It just hit me... did they call themselves ABBA because of their first name initials? 😱

    w.... ....

    writerspen010 Yes. When they started they were all fairly well known in Sweden. Agneta and Annifrid as solo singers. Benny and Björn as member of Hep Stars and Hootenanny singers, two of the most popular groups in the 60s in Sweden. In the beginning they were called by their first names but that was not practical and their manager, i think, suggested their initials instead. They got permission from the swedish fish food company (still exists) also called Abba to use the name.

  76. M.... T....

    They will always be the 1970s -1980s Super Group ,great music i was a teen in the 1970s ,i still plat their music to this day
    i even have Cassette tapes of their music

  77. D.... M....

    How many people's parents blasted abb a on the hi fi when they were young lol

  78. d.... j....

    June 2018 and I am still listening yahoo on and on and on 👍👍👍

  79. m.... ....

    Thanks for posting. This hit from ABBA was at #99 on the Billboard Pop charts on August 1, 1981. That was the day that a new network went up on cable/satellite. It was MTV. This hit also hit #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play charts.

  89. M.... G....

    Que cantidad de buena música tiene ABBA. Hoy en dia no producen esta calidad de música.

  90. t.... ....

    ANYONE from Atlanta , Ga.......remember the LIMELIGHT....on top of the speakers?????
    :)

  91. C.... Z....

    Comparing Abba and Beatles..I too belive Beatles r Overrated..Abba sings in Foreign languages yet r so succesfulll

    C.... Z....

    Christina Zopari

    The Beatles recorded in German and used French in MICHELLE.

    C.... Z....

    William Overly Correct. But that is a tiny fraction of their entire catalog. They are an English band writing songs in native language. They understand all the little sayings and slang. Much easier to write a melody, etc... when you have a full grasp of the language.

    What ABBA did, breaking up the Anglo dominated international band monopoly, was impressive. They had a lot of road blocks thrown in front of them. It shows how strong their songs were. They are very unique. I small country tucked away close to the North Pole, that very few cared about.
    Today ABBA is a major player in the music world, in all genre.

    Many songs are written for artist in US & UK and all over by Swedish songwriters. ABBA started it all.

    C.... Z....

    Which one of their 400 songs they wrote did you not like?
    More songs recorded by other Artists ( Over 3,000 Acts ).Were Number 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 simultaneously in The USA Chart and not only changed the face of music but changed THE WORLD back then..lol

    C.... Z....

    Sorry, but you can't compare. First of all, Beatles became famous in Feb 1964 until 1969. Abba was mid to late 70s. Itbis hard to compare band that did not coexist

  92. t.... t....

    very often overlooked , certainly one of my favourite tunes.

  93. J.... C....

    favourite ABBA song by far

  94. s.... ....

    I have been looking for this song for years!

  95. T.... K....

    Has someone counted how many pictures were used, if not I am gonna count them

  96. �.... �....

    one billion is not enoug

    �.... �....

    Вячеслав Круглов ,They don't need the money. Promoters don't seem to get that and the fact they're over the idea of performing as a group.

    �.... �....

    BroccollQueefed, They sang all the songs on all topics

  97. A.... S....

    It's an alright song. Not one of their better ones, in mu opinion. But it seemed to be the opinion of many. Which is why this one only made it to number 90 in the US Hot 100 chart. It just doesn't have the hooks and harmony that most all of their other songs have.

    A.... S....

    It's one of their best songs by far.
