Lyrics:

Whoo!
Ah yeah!
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 (They'll be dancing)
Down in New Orleans (Dancing in the streets)
Up in New York City (Dancing in the streets)
All we need is music (Sweet, sweet)
Sweet music (Sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the streets, oh!
It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there, so come on
Grab a guy, grab a girl, everywhere around the world
There'll be dancing, dancing in the streets
(Ooh) It's just an invitation, across the nation
A chance for the folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA (Dancin' in the street)
Baltimore, in D.C. now (Dancin' in the streets)
Can't forget the Motor City (Dancin' in the streets)
All we need is music (Sweet, sweet)
Sweet music (Sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the streets, oh!
It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there, come on
Every guy grabs a girl, everywhere around the world
Wow!
Hey, hey, hey!
Ow, yeah, ow!
Dancin', they're dancin' in the street
(Dancin' in the streets)
Way down in L.A. every day
(Dancin' in the streets)
Dancin' in the street
(Dancin' in the streets)

San Francisco Bay (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Dancin' in the streets)
They do it every day now
(Dancin' in the streets)
Across the ocean blue (Ooh-ooh-ooh) me an' you
(Dancin' in the streets)
Dancin' in the street
(Dancin' in the streets)
