Lyrics

Callin' out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat? Summer's here and the time is right For dancin' in the streets They're dancin' in Chicago Down in New Orleans, up in New York City All we need is music (Sweet music) Sweet music (Sweet music) There'll be music everywhere (Everywhere) There'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playin' And dancin' in the streets, oh It doesn't matter what you wear Just as long as you are there So come on, every guy grab a girl (Come on) Everywhere around the world, there'll be dancin' They're dancin' in the street This is an invitation across the nation A chance for the folks to meet There'll be laughin', singin', and music swingin' And dancin' in the streets Philadelphia, P.A (Philadelphia, P.A.) Baltimore and DC now (Baltimore and DC now) Yeah, don't forget the Motor City (can't forget the Motor City) All we need is music (Sweet music) Sweet music (Sweet music) There'll be music everywhere (Everywhere) There'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playin' And dancin' in the street, yeah Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear Just as long as you are there So come on, every guy grasp a girl (Come on, come on) Everywhere around the world There'll be damn fun Be dancin' in the streets Philadelphia, P.A. (Philadelphia, P.A.) Baltimore and DC now (Baltimore and DC now) Can't forget that Motor City (can't forget the Motor City) Way down in L.A., California (way down in L.A., California) Not to mention Hafilax, Nova Scotia (Not to mention) Well,, you know? (Yes, I know) Manchester? (And, oh, Amherst, Amherst) Alexandria? (And Virginia, Virginia) Falls Church? (Where's that?)
