Mamma Mia "Entr'acte" question#1

What two ABBA songs are being alluded to (and scrambled) throughout the course of the entr'acte?

HINT: One appears in the show, the other does not.

Definitely "Summer Night City" (not in the show) and possibly "Lay All Your Love on Me" (in the show)

The theme, like the overture, is "Lay All Your Love On Me."

Voulez-Vous has the "Master's of the Scene" repetition.

And that's the extent of my familiarity with ABBA.

Im not a huge abba fan, but i know most of the songs in the show and have always wondered what the bit in the entracte was, that bit about "time to" something or another.
