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 streets
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City, (dancing in the street)
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying and record playing
And dancing 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
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancing
They're dancing in the street
This is an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing and singing and music swinging
Dancing in the streets
Philadelphia, PA (dancing in the street)
Baltimore and DC now (dancing in the street)
Don't forget the Motor City (dancing in the street)
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere (everywhere)
There'll be swinging, swaying and record 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 streets (dancing in the street)
Way down in L.A.
Every day
They're dancing in the street
