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

Dancin' in Chicago

Down in New Orleans

In New York City



All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'

And dancin' in the streets



* 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'

Dancin' in the streets



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 streets



[Repeat *]



Dancin' in the streets 

Dancin' in the streets
