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
Down in New Orleans

Up in New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere

There'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 ev'ry guy grab a girl

Ev'rywhere around the world
They'll be dancing
They're dancing in the street


It's just an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet

There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA

Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget the Motor City
All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere
There'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 ev'ry guy grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world


Dancing
They're dancing in the street
Way down in L.A.

Every day
Dancing in the street
