LYRICS FOR "Dancing in the Street"
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 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 Dancing in the streets
It doesn't matter what you wear just as long as you are there So come every guy, grab your girl Everywhere around the world There'll be dancing, dancing in the streets
It's just an invitation across the nation A chance for folks to meet There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging Dancing in the streets
Philadelphia, PA Baltimore, in 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, records playing Dancing in the streets
It doesn't matter what you wear just as long as you are there So come every guy, grab your girl Everywhere around the world Dancin', they're dancin' in the street
Way down in L.A. everyday, dancin' in the street San Francisco way, they do it everyday now Across the ocean blue
