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 (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 (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet music)

There'll be music everywhere (Sweet music everywhere)

There'll be swinging and swaying, 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, every guy, grab a girl

Everywhere around the world

They'll be dancing (Dancing in the street)

They're dancing in the street (Dancing in the street)

This is 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 (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet music)

There'll be music everywhere (Sweet music everywhere)

There'll be swinging and swaying, and records playing (Swaying, 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're dancing

They're dancing in the street (Dancing in the street)

Way down in L.A. (Dancing in the street)

Every day, they're dancing in the street (Dancing in the street)

Let's form a big, strong line, get in time (Dancing in the street)

We're dancing in the street (Dancing in the street)

Across the ocean blue, me and you (Dancing in the street)

We're dancing in the street, yeah (Dancing in the street)
