Lyrics
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. There'll be swinging and swaying and 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. They're dancing in the street. Way down in L.A. ev'ry day, They're dancing in the street. Let's form a big, strong line, get in time, We're dancing in the street. Across the ocean blue, me and you, We're dancing in the street...
