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 plave - the Taverna. I always
meant to come back and build it
some day, 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 like 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 night-club 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

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

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 broken-hearted
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

Look at me now
Will I ever learn
I don't know how
But I suddenly loose 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

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 stop 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 shout
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

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

ROSIE:
If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing

BILL:
We can go walking

ROSIE:
As long as we're together
Listen to some music

BILL:
Maybe just talking

ROSIE:
You'd get to know you better
'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there

BILL:
Afraid of a love affair

ROSIE:
But I think you know
That I want you so!

If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me

ROSIE & BILL:
If you need me, let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try

ROSIE:
Take a chance on me

BILL:
Come on, give me a break will you?

ROSIE:
Take a chance on me:

Oh, you can take your time, baby
I'm in no hurry
Know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me

BILL:
Baby, don't worry

ROSIE:
I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
Our love is strong enough
To last when things get rough
It's magic

ROSIE & BILL:
You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
And I think you know
That I want you so

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 who ever 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

SOPHIE
I've seen you twice
In a short time
Only a week 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 chioce
But it means a lot to me
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 bashful 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?

BILL
Gotta trust me, I'm doing what's right
And it means a lot

SOPHIE

BILL
Your smile and the sound of your voice

SOPHIE
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
The name of the game

BILL

SOPHIE
