Come on out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Oh, summer's here and the time is right
Oh, for dancing in the streets

Dancing in Chicago - (dancin' in the streets)
Down in New Orleans - (dancin' in the streets)
In New York City - (dancin' in the streets)

All we need is music, sweet music (sweet, sweet music)
They'll be music everywhere (everywhere)
They'll be laughing, singing, music swinging and dancin' in the streets

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
They're dancin' - (dancin' in the streets) oh oh

This is an invitation across the nation
The chance for folks to meet
There'll be swinging, swaying
Music playing and dancin' in the streets
