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
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans

In New York City

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

It's an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet

They'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street


Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore in DC now
Don't forget the motor city



On the streets of Brazil

Back in the USSR
No matter where you are


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 streets


Way down in L.A., everyday
Dancing in the streets

Cross in China too
Me and you
Dancing in the street


Don't you know
They'll be dancing

Dancing in the street (repeat)
