Song Lyrics

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 (dancing in the street)
Dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York city (dancing in the street)

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street

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), dancing in the street (dancing in the street)

This is an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing, singing and music swinging
We're dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA (dancing in the street)
Baltimore in DC now (dancing in the street)
Can't forget the Motor City (dancing in the street)

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), dancing in the street (dancing in the street)

Way down in L.A., everyday
With dancing in the street (dancing in the street)

This is an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing, singing and music swinging
We're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
