I'm comin' out all around the world
Searchin' for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancin' in the street
For dancin' in Chicago
Down to New Orleans
In New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be a-swingin' an' swayin'
And records playin'
And dancin' in the street
It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy and grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
Oh there'll be dancin'
Dancin' in the street
This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughter, singin'
And music swingin'
And dancin' in the street
Philadelphia, P.A.
Across to Washington DC
Can't forget the Music City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin' and swayin'
Records playin'
Dancin' in the street
It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy and grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancin', dancin' in the street
This is an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughter singin' and music swingin'
And dancin' in the street
