Dancing in the Street

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

They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
Up in New York City

All we need is music
Sweet music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, and swaying
and records playing and dancing in the streets

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy grasp a girl
Everywhere around the world they'll be dancing
D-dancing in the street

This is an invitation, across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, and singing
And music swinging and dancing in the streets

Philidelphia, PA
Philidelphia, PA
Baltimore and D.C. now
Baltimore and D.C. now
Don't forget the Motor City
Can't forget the Motor City

All we need is music
Swee music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, and swaying
And records playing and dancing in the street
Yeah

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy grasp a girl
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancing
D-dancing in the street

Philidelphia, PA
Philidelphia, PA
Baltimore and D.C. now
Baltimore and D.C. now
Don't forget the Motor City
Can't forget the Motor City
All the way down in LA, California
Not to mention Halifax, Nova Scotia
*Cass and one of the guys talk, naming cities, lots of murmuring, pretty unintelligible*

William Steven, Marvin Gaye, and Ivy Jo Hunter
