Okay
Talk to you
South America
Australia
France, Germany
UK, 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
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
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, PA
Baltimore in DC now
Don't forget
The motor city
On the streets
Of Brazil
Back in the USSR
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
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
Dancing
Dancing in the street
Dancing
