The New Christy Minstrels
Dancing in the Streets
[Verse 1]
Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
Up in New York City

[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music, sweet music
Music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying
And records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

[Chorus]
It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancing
Dancing in the street

[Verse 2]
An invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging
And dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore and D.C., now
Can't forget the Motor City
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music, sweet music
Music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying
And records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

[Chorus]
It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancing
Dancing in the street

[Outro]
They'll be dancing
Dancing in the street
An invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging
And dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA, now (Dancing in the street)
Down in old LA, now
Talk about Dallas, Texas
Down in New Orleans
[?]
Don't forget the Motor City
Can't forget the Motor City
Wow, can we talk about the Motor City
They're dancing in New York, now
They're dancing in old LA, now
They're dancing in Frisco town
Can we talk about Seattle, Washington
Everybody's gonna dance
[?]
Oh, we're gonna rock and roll, baby
[?]
It's an invitation to you, baby
Let's go dancing [?]
Wow, I can't keep my feet stopped, baby
Oh, yeah [?]
Wow, everything about my dancing
I can't keep my feet stopped, baby
Oh, my feet won't stop, baby
