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 street

They're dancing 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 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 ev'ry guy grab a girl

Ev'rywhere around the world

They'll be dancing

They're dancing in the street



It's just an invitation across the nation

A chance for folks to meet

There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging

Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA

Baltimore and D.C. now

Can't forget the Motor City

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

There'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 ev'ry guy grab a girl

Ev'rywhere around the world



Dancing

They're dancing in the street

Way down in L.A.

Every day

Dancing in the street
