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 streets
They'll be dancing in chicago
Down in new orleans
Up in New York city

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying
And records playing
And dancing in the street

Whoa, 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

Way down in l. a. , everyday
They're dancing in the street
Let's form a big long line
Get in time, we're dancing in the street
Across the ocean too
Me and you
Dancing in the street
