Lyrics

Callin' 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 (dancing in the street) 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 There'll be swingin' and swayin' and 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 Everywhere around the world There'll be dancing (dancing in the street) They're dancing in the street Dancing in the street It's just an invitation across the nation A chance for folks to meet There'll be laughing, singing and music swinging Dancing in the street Philadelphia, PA (dancing in the street) Baltimore and D.C. 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 There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playing And 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're dancing They're dancing in the street (dancing in the street) Way down in L.A., every day, they're dancing in the street Let's get our big strong long, get on time (they're dancing in the street) Across the ocean blue, me and you (we're dancing in the street)
