Dancing in the Street Songtext

von Mick Jagger

With David Bowie

O.k., Tokyo, 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 street
They're dancing in Chicago - dancing in the street
Down in New Orleans - dancing in the street
In New York City - dancing in the street
All we need is music, sweet music, there'll be music ev'rywhere

There'll be swinging and swaying and records playing
Dancing in the street
It doesn't matter what you wear just as long as you are there
So come on, ev'ry guy grab a girl, ev'rywhere around the world
They'll be dancing, they're dancing in the street, dancing in the street

This is an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing and singing and music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia P. A. - dancing in the street
Baltimore and D.C., now - dancing in the street
Don't forget the Motor City - dancing in the street
On the streets of Brazil - dancing in the street
Back in the USSR - dancing in the street
Don't matter where youa re - dancing in the street
All we need is music, sweet music, there'll be music ev'rywhere

There'll be swinging and swaying and records playing
Dancing in the street
It doesn't matter what you wear just as long as you are there
So come on, ev'ry guy grab a girl, ev'rywhere around the world
They'll be dancing, they're dancing in the street, dancing in the street

Way down in L. A., everyday dancing in the street
Dancing in the street
Across in China, too, me and you dancing in the street
Dancing in the street
Don't you know they'll be dancing, dancing in the street
Dancing in the street
Don't you know they'll be dancing, dancing in the street
Dancing in the street
