Swinging, swaying, the record's playing 
Swinging, swaying, the record's playing
Swinging, swaying, the record's playing
Swinging, swaying, the record's playing

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 streets
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, the music swinging
For dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore and DC now
Don't forget the motor 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
Come on every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the streets

Dancing in the street 
Dancing in the street
Music everywhere
Oh
Dancing in the street
Dancing in the street
Oh
Everyone

China, Japan, South America and France
Australia, Brazil, Africa, everybody
Come one

Dancing in the street...
