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 the street)

They're dancin' in Chicago (dancin’ in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancin’ in the street)
In New York City (dancin’ in the street)

All we need is music, (sweet, sweet) sweet music (sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (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' (dancin’ in the street)
They're dancin' in the street (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, Pa. (dancin’ in the street)
Baltimore and D. C. now (dancin’ in the street)
Can’t forget the Motor City (dancin’ in the street)

All we need is music (sweet, sweet) sweet music (sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (music everywhere)
There'll be swingin', swayin' (swayin’) and records playin' (playin’)
And 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 (dancin’ in the street)

Way down in L. A., everyday (dancin’)
They’re dancin’ in the street (dancin’ in the street)
Let’s form a big long line (dancin’ in the street)
Yeah, they’re dancin’ in the street (dancin’ in the street)
Across the ocean too with me and you (dancin’)
They’re dancin’ in the street, yeah (dancin’ in the street)
