Dancing in the Street

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 streets

They're dancin' in Chicago
Down in New Orleans up in New York City

All we need is music (Sweet music)
Sweet music (Sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (Oh, everywhere)
There'll be swingin', swayin'
And records playin'
And 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 the folks to meet

There'll be laughin' (And singin')
And music swingin' and dancin' in the street

All we need is music (Sweet music)
