Standard (EADGBE)

Calling out around the world

Are you ready for a brand new beat?

Summer's here and the is right

For dancing in the street

They'll be 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 records playing,

Dancin' and swayin'

Dancing in the street

Well, doesn't matter what you wear

 Just as long as you are there

 So every guy grab a girl

Every night around the world

 There'll be dancing in the street

This is an invitation across the nation

A chance for folks to meet

There'll be laughin' and singin'

And music swingin'

Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA

Baltimore and DC. now

Can't forget the motor city

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

There'll be dancin' and swayin'

Records playing,

Dancing in the street

Well now, doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

So every guy grab a girl

Every night around the world

There'll be dancing in the street

This is an invitation across the nation

A chance for folks to meet

There'll be laughin' and singin'

And music swingin'

Dancing in the street
