Dancing In The Street lyrics

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 streets.

They`re dancin? in Chicago,
Down in New Orleans,
Up in New York City.

All we need is music (sweet music),
Sweet music (sweet music).
There`ll be music everywhere (everywhere);
There`ll be swingin? and 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 (come on) grab a girl
Everywhere around the world.
There`ll be dancing---
They`re dancing in the street

This is an invitation
Across the nation;
A chance for the folks to meet.
There`ll be laughin`, singin`, and music swingin`
And dancin` in the streets.

Philadelphia, P.A. (Philadelphia, P.A.)
Baltimore and DC now (Baltimore and DC now)
Yeah, don`t forget the Motor City.
(Can`t forget the Motor City)
All we need is music (sweet music),
Sweet music (sweet music).
There`ll be music everywhere (everywhere).
There`ll be swingin` and swayin` and records playin`
And dancin` in the street, yeah.

Oh, it doesn`t matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there.
So come on, every guy (come on, come on) grasp a girl
Everywhere around the world...

There`ll be dancin`,
Be dancin` in the streets
Philadelphia, P.A. (Philadelphia, P.A.)
Baltimore and DC now (Baltimore and DC now)
Can`t forget that Motor City.
(Can`t forget the Motor City)
Way down in L.A., California
(Way down in L.A., California)

"Not to mention Hafilax, Nova Scotia."
"Not to mention [?]"
"Well, [?], you know?" "Yes, I know."
"Manchester?" "And, oh, Amherst, Amherst."
"Alexandria?" "And Virginia, Virginia."
"Falls Church?" "Where`s that?"
"[?] --oh, Boyle Heights"
"Boyle heights? Never heard of it..."
