Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
The summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street

It doesn't matter what you wear just as long
You are there come on every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancing (Dancing in the street)

They're dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)
They're dancing in Chicago

Down in New Orleans (Dancing in the street)
Around here in Hartford
(Dancing in the street)

All wе need is music (Music)
Sweet music (Music)
There'll be music еverywhere
There'll be swinging swaying
And records playing dancing in the street

It doesn't matter what you wear just as long
You are there come on every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancing (Dancing in the street)
They're dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)

Dancing across the nation
A place where folks do heat
There'll be swinging swaying
And records playing dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA baltimore and DC now
Can't forget the Motor City

All we need is music (Music)
Sweet music (Music)
There'll be music everywhere (Music)
There'll be swinging swaying
Records playing and dancing in the street

It doesn't matter what you wear just as long
You are there come on every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancing come on, now, Hartford!

Oh, yeah dancing in the street
Every night! Dancing in the street, oooh
Dancing in the street dancing in the street
Dancing in the street
