Dancing in the Street Lyrics

Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right

They're dancin' in Chicago
Down in New Orleans

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy grab a girl

There'll be dancin'

This is an invitation across the nation
A chance for the folks to meet
There'll be laughin' and singin' and music swingin'

Philadelphia, PA
(Philadelphia, PA)
Baltimore and DC now
(Baltimore and DC now)
Yeah, don'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'

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy grasp a girl

There'll be dancin'

Philadelphia, PA
(Philadelphia, PA)
Baltimore and DC now
(Baltimore and DC now)
Yeah, don't forget the Motor City

All the way down in LA, California
Not to mention Halifax, Nova Scotia, Manchester
Alexandria, Virginia, Virginia

Dancing In The Street Song Lyrics

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.

Dancin' in Chicago (dancin' in the street)

Down in New Orleans (dancin' in the street)

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', dancin' in the street

Way down in L.A., every day they're dancin' in the street

Lets form a big strong line, and get in time,

We're dancin' in the street.

Across the ocean blue, me and you

We're dancin n the street
