Jerry Garcia
Dancing In The Streets (Live at Springer’s Inn, Portland, OR, January 18, 1970)
[Verse 1]
Well, calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat? (Whoa-oh)
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago (Dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (Dancing in the street)
In New York City (Dancing in the street)
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music, sweet music (Sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (Everywhere)
There'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the streets
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter what you wear
Long as you are there
Come on, every guy, grab a girl
And everywhere around the world
They're dancing
Whoa-oh, dancing in the street
[Verse 2]
This is an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be music singing, people singing it
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA (Dancing in the street)
Baltimore and D.C. now (Dancing in the street)
Can't forget the Motor City (Dancing in the street)
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music, sweet music (Sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (Everywhere)
There'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter what you wear
Long as you are there
But come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They're dancing
Dancing in the streets
(Come on, everybody get up and dance, form a big long line and dance around)
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music, sweet music (Sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (Everywhere)
There'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street
[Chorus]
It doesn't matter what you wear
Long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
And everywhere around the world
They're dancing
[Outro]
Whoa-oh, dancing in the street
(Yeah, come on now, they're dancing)
Whoa-oh, dancing in the street
This is gonna be our last song, I think, 'cause, uh, we're experiencing a time deadline. It ain't, it ain't, it ain't
