Dancing in the Street (Radio Version) Lyrics

Come on, WHOO!
Oh

Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's near and the time is right
For dancing in the street
Dancin' in Chicago (dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York City (dancing in the street)

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingers swayin' and records playin'
Dancing in the street

Oh, it doesn't matter what you want
Just as long as you are there
Come on, every boy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancin'
WHOO!
(They're dancing in the street)
We're dancing in the street

This is an invitation across the nation
A chance for kids to meet (that's right)
There'll be laughin' and singin', and music swingin'
We're dancing in the street
Philadelphia, P.A. (dancing in the street)
Baltimore and D.C. now (dancing in the street)
Can't forget the Motor City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingers swayin' and records playin'
Dancing in the street

Oh, it doesn't matter what you want
Just as long as you are there
Come on, every boy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancin'
WHOO!
(They're dancing in the street)
They're dancing, dancing in the street now

(They'll be dancing) Hey yeah
(They're dancing in the street)
Come on, come on and dance to the beat now

Way down in L.A
Everyday
We're dancing in the street
San Fransisco Bay
Miami and L.A

From your neighborhood
Down to Hollywood
They're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
All around the world (dancing in the street)
Every boy and girl now (dancing in the street)
Dancing in the street now
(fading)
