Callin' out around the world

are you ready

for a brand new beat?

summer's here

and the time is right

for dancin' in the street

They're dancin' 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 swingin'

swayin' and records playin'

dancin' 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 dancin'

they're dancin' in the street

this is an invitation

across the Nation

a chance for folks to meet

There'll be laughin'

singin' and music swingin'

dancin' in the street

Philadelphia, p.a.

Baltimore and d.c. now

can't forget the motor city

all we need is music

sweet music

there'll be music everywhere

There'll be swingin'

swayin' and records playin'

dancin' 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're dancin'

they're dancin' in the street

way down in L.A.

everyday

they're dancin' in the street

Let's form a big strong line

get in time

we're dancin' in the street

across the ocean blue

me and you

we're dancin' in the street
