The Lyrics
Meryl Streep stars in the upcoming film adaptation of the "Mama Mia" musical.
"Mama Mia" cry Swedish gals and guys.
A broken heart they've had, so they sigh
Chantey 'bout game-player.
Scandi skin is fair.
They lost at love, but they aren't resigned
"Mama Mia" whined (4x)
ABBA's "Mia," why did this lame song fly
Off of the charts to stage, with film nie?
There's escape nowhere. . .
Life just isn't fair.
I would love it if each were a mime.
"Mama Mia" whined (3x)
Meryl Streep, uh, why?!
No, no, no, no. . . !
I must depart; they've started to cry.
There's escape nowhere. . .
Always on the air.
They'll play this song till the end of time.
"Mama Mia" whined (AB nauseum)
A broken heart they've had, so they sigh
Chantey 'bout game-player.
Scandi skin is fair.
They lost at love, but they aren't resigned
"Mama Mia" whined (4x)
ABBA's "Mia," why did this lame song fly
Off of the charts to stage, with film nie?
There's escape nowhere. . .
Life just isn't fair.
I would love it if each were a mime.
"Mama Mia" whined (3x)
Meryl Streep, uh, why?!
No, no, no, no. . . !
I must depart; they've started to cry.
There's escape nowhere. . .
Always on the air.
They'll play this song till the end of time.
"Mama Mia" whined (AB nauseum)

Can't stand Meryl Streep (even if she is from New Jersey), can't stand ABBA, but like this parody.
funny mental imagery
Abba had a couple of decent songs. Mama Mia wasn't one of them. This however, is fantastic.
Thanks, Michael, Alvin, Mason.
I know of a song called "Cara Mia" by Baccara, but I'm not sure if it's a cover of this original song or if it's a completely different song altogether. Based on the lyric structure, it seems to be a different song altogether. Baccara's song "Cara Mia": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrAeKSP3S68
ABBA-solutely hilarious! Both this and it's sister smooshie
