It's just an invitation across the nation A chance for folks to meet There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging Dancing in the street Philadelphia, PA Baltimore and D.C. now Can't forget the Motor City All we need is music, sweet music There'll be music everywhere There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing Dancing in the street
Oh it doesn't matter what you wear Just as long as you are there So come on ev'ry guy grab a girl Ev'rywhere around the world
Dancing They're dancing in the street Way down in L.A. Every day Dancing in the street
