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

Down in new orleans

In new york city

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

It doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

Just as long as you are there

So come on

So come on

Every guy grab a girl

Every where around the world

They'll be dancing

They'll be dancing

Dancing in the street

Dancing in the street

It's an invitation

Across the nation

A chance for folks to meet

They'll be laughing and singing

Music swinging

Dancing in the street

Philadelphia pa

Baltimore in d c now

Don't for get the motor city

And the streets of brasil

Back in the ussr

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

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

Oh

It doesn't matter

What you wear

Just as long as you are there

So come on

Every guy grab a girl

Every where around the world

They'll be dancing

Dancing in the street

Dancing in the street

Dancing in the street
