Dancing in the Street

I'm ready baby

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're dancing in Chicago

(They'll be dancing)

Down in New Orleans (Dancing in the street)

In New York City (Dancing in the street)

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

They'll be swinging, 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

They'll be dancing, dancing in the street

This is an invitation across the nation

A chance for folks to meet

They'll be laughing and singing and music swinging

Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, Pa (They'll be dancing)

Baltimore and DC now (Dancing in the street)

Can't forget the Motor City

(Dancing in the street)

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

There'll be swinging, 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

They'll be dancing, dancing in the street

Go on baby

Dancing (There'll be dancing)

Dancing in the street (Dancing in the street)

Way down in LA, everyday

Dancing in the street (Dancing in the street)

San Francisco Bay, they do it every day now (Dancing in the street)

Across the ocean blue, me and you, dancing in the street

(Dancing in the street)
