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

Dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging and 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

There'll be dancing
Dancing in the street

It's 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 DC now
Don't forget the Motor City
Or the streets of Brazil
Back in the USSR
Don't matter where you are

Way down in LA, everyday
Dancing in the street
'Cross in China too, me and you
Dancing in the street

Don't you know they'll be dancing
Dancing in the street
