I'm comin' out all around the world
Searchin' for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancin' in the street
For dancin' in Chicago
Down to New Orleans
In New York City

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be a-swingin' an' swayin'
And records playin'
And dancin' in the street

It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy and grab a girl
Everywhere around the world

Oh there'll be dancin'
Dancin' in the street
This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughter, singin'
And music swingin'
And dancin' in the street
Philadelphia, P.A
Across to Washington DC
Can't forget the Music City

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin' and swayin'
Records playin'
Dancin' in the street

It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy and grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancin', dancin' in the street

This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughter singin' and music swingin'
And dancin' in the street
