DANCING IN THE STREET
 

Calling out around the world

Are you ready for a brand new beat 

Summer's here and the time is right 

For dancing in the streets

They're dancing in Chicago 

Down in New Orleans

In New York city

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing, 

Dancing 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'll be dancing, dancing in the street

 

It's an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet 

They'll be laughing and singing, music swinging

Dancing in the street 

Philadelphia, P.A. 

Baltimore in D.C. now 

Can't forget the motor city

 

On the streets of the hill

Back in the U.S.S.R.

No matter where you are

All we need is music, sweet music 

There'll be music everywhere

They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing 

Dancing 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'll be dancing, dancing in the streets

Way down in L.A., everyday 

Dancing in the streets

Cross the ocean blue 

Me and you

Dancing in the street
