Calling out around the world

Are you ready for a brand new beat

Summer's near and the time is right

For dancing in the streets

All over the world



[Chorus:]

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

Swinging, swaying, records playing

Dancing in the streets



It doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

Come on, every guy, grab a girl

Everywhere, around the world

Dancing, dancing in the streets, yeah



This is an invitation, across the nation

A chance for the folks to meet

Laughing, singing, records swinging

Dancing in the streets

They're doing it in Chicago

down in New Orleans

Don't forget New York City



[Chorus]



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

Dancing, dancing in the streets



This is an invitation, across the nation

A chance for the folks to meet

Summer's near and the time is right

For dancing in the streets



It doesn't matter what you wear

As long as you are there

Come on, every guy, grab a girl

Everywhere, around the world



Dancing in the streets

Philadelphia, Pa.

Baltimore in DC

Don't forget New York City

All over the world

Dancing in the streets
