[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
Way up in New York City

[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music (Sweet music), sweet music
(Sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (Everywhere)
There'll be swinging and swaying, and records playing
Dancing in the street

[Chorus]
Whoa, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
Dancing (Dancing in the street)
They're dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)

[Verse 2]
Hey, this is an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing and singing, and music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore and D.C. now
Don't forget the Motor City
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music (Sweet music), sweet music
(Sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (Everywhere)
There'll be laughing and singing, and records playing
Dancing in the street

[Chorus]
Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So every guy, around the world
Everybody, oh, oh, oh, oh Lord
They're dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)

Dancing
They're dancing in the street
Way down in L.A
Every day, they're dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)
Let's form a big duck line
(Dancing in the street)
Get on time, they're dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)
Across the ocean blue
(Dancing in the street)
Me and you, in the street
(Dancing in the street)
You got to get out in the street
(Dancing in the street)
