Lyrics

Calling out around the world  
Are you ready for a brand new beat?  
Summer's here and the is right  
For dancing in the street  
  
They'll be dancing in Chicago  
Down in New Orleans  
In New York City  
All we need is music, sweet music  
There'll be music everywhere  
There'll be records playing,  
Dancin' and swayin'  
Dancing in the street  
  
Well, doesn't matter what you wear  
Just as long as you are there  
So every guy grab a girl  
Every night around the world  
  
There'll be dancing in the street  
This is an invitation across the nation  
A chance for folks to meet  
There'll be laughin' and singin'  
And music swingin'  
Dancing in the street  
  
Philadelphia, pa  
Baltimore and dc. Now  
Can't forget the motor city  
All we need is music, sweet music  
There'll be music everywhere  
There'll be dancin' and swayin'  
Records playing,  
Dancing in the street  
  
Well now, doesn't matter what you wear  
Just as long as you are there  
So every guy grab a girl  
Every night around the world  
  
There'll be dancing in the street  
This is the [?] across the nation  
A chance for folks to meet  
There'll be laughin' and singin'  
And music swingin'  
Dancing in the street
