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 streets

They’re dancin’ in Chicago (Dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (Dancing in the street)
Up in New York City (Dancing in the street)

All we need is music (Sweet, sweet), sweet music (Sweet, sweet music)
There’ll be music (Sweet music) everywhere (Everywhere)
There’ll be playing and 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’ (Dancing in the street)
They’re dancin’ in the street (Dancing 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, PA (Dancing in the street)
Baltimore and DC now (Dancing in the street)
Can’t forget the Motor City (Dancing in the street)

All we need is music (Sweet, sweet), sweet music (Sweet, sweet music)
There’ll be music (Sweet music) everywhere (Everywhere)
There’ll be playing and 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’
They’re dancin’ in the street (Dancing in the street)
Way down in LA (Dancing in the street)
Every day they’re dancin’ in the street (Dancing in the street)
Let’s form a big strong line (Dancing in the street), get in time
We’re dancin’ in the street (Dancing in the street)
Across the ocean blue (Dancing in the street), me and you
We’re dancin’ in the street (Dancing in the street)
