ABBA Week, Day 1: Mamma Mia! (Song dedicated to a certain Romy and sung to the tune of, well, “Mamma Mia”[1])

By Siesta-friendly

We’ve been cheated by you ever since NBN
‘Cause you never agreed she must come to an end
Look at you now, will you never learn
We don’t know how or why you accept control
Don’t you know you are losing your soul?
The gall it took to accept the reins
Of 1 more job from the same regime
Woh oh oh oh

Mamma Mia!
Here we go again
Romy, why can’t you resist her?
Mamma Mia!
Does it show again
Romy, why is it you need her?
We’re going broke and hungry
Poor without any money
Why, why can you never let her go?
Mamma mia, won’t you let us know
Romy, why she has a hold on you so?

We’ve been angry and sad about things that you do
We can’t count all the times that we thought she was through
And then you go, you claim you’re immune
From being told to disclose what you’ve known all along
Why can’t you be a little strong?
The gall it took to accept the reins
Of 1 more job from the same regime
Woh oh oh oh

Mamma Mia!
Here we go again
Romy, why can’t you resist her?
Mamma Mia!
Does it show again
Romy, why is it you need her?
We’re going broke and hungry
Poor without any money
Why, why can you never let her go?
Mamma mia, won’t you let us know
Romy, why she has a hold on you so?

Mamma mia!
Even if she says
Lie lie, won’t you say no to her?
Mamma mia!
Can’t you ever say,
‘Bye bye I’ll be gone forever’?
Mamma Mia!
Here we go again
Romy, why can’t you resist her?
Mamma Mia!
Does it show again
Romy, why is it you need her?
We’re going broke and hungry
Poor without any money
Why, why can you never let her go?
Mamma mia, won’t you let us know
Romy, why she has a hold on you so?
