Dancing in the Street

Callin' out around the world

Are you ready for a brand new beat?

Summer's here and the time is right

For dancin' in the streets, they're dancin' in Chicago

Down in New Orleans, up in New York City



All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'

They're dancin' in the streets



Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

So come on, every guy grab a girl

Everywhere around the world

There'll be dancin', they're dancin' in the street



This is an invitation across the nation

A chance for the folks to meet

There'll be laughin', singin' and music swingin'

And dancin' in the streets

Philadelphia, P.A., Baltimore and DC now

Don't forget the Motor City



All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'

They're dancin' in the street



Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

So come on, every guy grab a girl

Everywhere around the world

They're dancin', they're dancin' in the streets



Way down in L.A.

Everyday they're dancin' in the street

Let's form a pitch torn line, yeah

Everytime we're dancin' in the street

Across the ocean blue, me and you

Dancin' in the streets
