Lyrics:

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
(dancing in the streets)
Down in New Orleans
(dancing in the streets)
Up in New York City
(dancing in the streets)
All we need is music, sweet music
there'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging swaying records playing
Dancing 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'll be dancing
They're dancing in the street

It's just an invitation across the nation
a chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing and music swinging
Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA
(dancing in the streets)
Baltimore and D.C. now
(dancing in the streets)
Can't forget the Motor City
(dancing in the streets)
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street

Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
just as long as you are there
So come on ev'ry guy grab a girl
everywhere around the world

Dancing
They're dancing in the street
(dancing in the streets)
Way down in L.A.
(dancing in the streets)
Every day
Dancing in the street
(dancing in the streets)
