Callin' out around the world, are you ready for a brand new beat?

Summer's here and the time is right for dancin' in the street.

Dancin' in Chicago (dancin' in the street)

Down in New Orleans (dancin' in the street)

In New York City

All we need is music, sweet music,

There'll be music everywhere

There'll be swingin' swayin', and records playin,

Dancin' 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 dancin', they're dancin' in the street.

This is an invitation, across the nation,

A chance for folks to meet.

There'll be laughin' singin', and music swingin'

Dancin' in the street

Philadelphia P.A., 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 swingin' swayin', and records playin,

Dancin' 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 dancin', dancin' in the street

Way down in L.A., every day they're dancin' in the street

Lets form a big strong line, and get in time,

We're dancin' in the street.

Across the ocean blue, me and you

We're dancin' in the street
