Comin' 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

Down in Dayton, Ohio (dancin' in the street)

Down in New Orleans (dancin' in the street)

In New York City (dancin' in the street)

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

There'll be swingin', swayin', and records playin'

Dancin' in the street

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're dancin'

They're dancin' in the street (dancin' in the street)

Verse 2:

This is an invitation across the nation

A chance for folks to meet

There'll be laughin', singin', and music swingin'

Dancin' in the street

Philadelphia, PA (dancin' in the street)

In Washington DC now (dancin' in the street)

Can't forget the Motor City (dancin' in the street)

(chorus)

They've got it in L.A., every day

They're dancin' in the street (dancin' in the street)

Across the Big Straw Line, dancin' in time

They're dancin' in the street (dancin' in the street)

Across the ocean blue, me and you

We're dancin' in the street (dancin' in the street)

...and fade
