Ok, talk to you,
South America, Australia
France, Germany
U.K., Africa

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, in New York city

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, 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,
Everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the street

It's an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing, and music swinging
And dancing in the street

Philadelphia, P.A., Baltimore in D.C. now
Don't forget the Motor City
On the streets of Brazil
Back in the U.S.S.R don't matter where you are

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, 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
Everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the streets

Way down in L.A. everyday
Dancing in the streets
Cross in China too, me and you
Dancing in the street

Don't you know
They'll be dancing
Dancing in the street

Don't you know
They'll be da, da, da, da
Dancing, dancing in the street
