Calling out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and time is right for dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago Down in New Orlens,
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 dancin' in the street ( Dancing in the street)
