[Verse 1] 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 Down in New Orleans Up in New York City All we need is music, sweet music There'll be music everywhere There'll be swinging swaying records playing [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 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 swinging, swaying and records playing [Chorus] [Outro] Way down in L.A Every day Dancing in the street
