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 (they'll be dancing)
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
Up in New York City (dancing in the street)

All we need is music, sweet music (sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, 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

There'll be dancing
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, P.A. (they'll be dancing)
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
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, 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

There'll be dancing
Dancing in the street

[Instrumental]

Dancing (they'll be dancing)
Dancing in the street (dancing in the street)

Way down in L.A. (dancing in the street)
Every day, dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
San Francisco way (dancing in the street)
They do it everyday now (dancing in the street)
Across the ocean blue, me and you (dancing in the street)
Dancin' in the street (dancing in the street)
