Dancing in the Street
Global Celebration of Rhythmic Unity: Dancing in the Street
Lyrics
Callin' out around the world
Inviting people globally to join in
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Asking if the audience is prepared for a new rhythm
Summer's here and the time is right
Summer is here and the moment is perfect
For dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
It's the right time for communal dancing
They're dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
Specific cities where dancing is happening
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
-In New York City (dancing in the street)
-All we need is music, sweet music (sweet sweet sweet sweet music)
Highlighting the necessity of music
There'll be music everywhere (sweet music everywhere)
Anticipating music to be ubiquitous
There'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playing and (oooohhhhh)
Expecting lively activities like swinging, swaying, and music playing
Dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
Reinforcing the idea of communal dancing
Oh it doesn't matter what you wear (ooohhh)
Emphasizing that attire doesn't matter
Just as long as you are there
What's important is being present
So come on every guy grab a girl
Encouraging everyone to pair up and join
Everywhere around the world
Welcoming participation from around the globe
They'll be dancing, dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
Reiterating the widespread dancing happening
(Dancing in the street)

-This is an invitation across the nation (ooohhh)
Extending an inclusive invitation for people to meet
A chance for folks to meet

Describing the atmosphere of laughter, singing, and music
And Dancing in the street (dancing in the street)

Reaffirming the significance of music
