Dancing in the Street

( Written by W. Stevenson - M. Gaye - I. Hunter )

Callin' out around the world are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right for dancin' in the street
And they're dancin' in Chicago down in New Orleans
Up in New York City all we need is music sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin' swayin' and records playin'
And dancin' in the streets.

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 dancin' a dancin' in the streets
This is an invitation across the nation a chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughin' and singin' and music swingin' and dancin' in the streets
Philadelphia, PA., Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget that Motor City all we need is music pretty music
There'll be swingin' swayin' and records playin'
And dancin' in the streets.

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 dancin' a dancin' in the street
Way down in LA well everyday they're dancin' in the streets
Well that's from my big boss line and ain't that fine
A dancin' in the streets
Across the ocean blue me and you a dancin' in the street.

A dancin' in the streets, yea, yea, yea, a dancin' in the streets...
