Dancing in the Street

(William Stevenson - Marvin Gaye - Ivy Hunter)



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 street

And they're dancin' in Chicago down in New Orleans

Up in New York City all we need is music sweet music

There'll be music everywhere

There'll be swingin' swayin' and records playin'

And dancin' in the streets.



Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

Come on every guy grab a girl

Everywhere around the world.



They'll be dancin' a dancin' in the streets

This is an invitation across the nation a chance for folks to meet

There'll be laughin' and singin' music swingin' and dancin' in the streets

Philadelphia, PA., Baltimore and D.C. now

Can't forget that Motor City all they need is music pretty music

There'll be swingin' swayin' and records playin'

And dancin' in the streets.



Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

Come on every guy grab a girl

Everywhere around the world.



They'll be dancin' a dancin' in the street

Way down in LA well everyday they're dancin' in the streets

Well that's from my big boss line and ain't that fine

A dancin' in the streets

Across the ocean blue me and you a dancin' in the street.



A dancin' in the streets, yea, yea, yea, a dancin' in the streets...
