MARTHA AND THE VANDELLAS lyrics - Dancing In The Street

(Gaye, Hunter, Stevenson)



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

There dancin' in Chicago (dancin' in the street)

Down in New Orleans (dancin' in the street)

In New York City (dancin' in the street)



All we need is music (sweet sweet) sweet (sweet sweet) music

They'll be music (music) everywhere (everywhere)

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

Dancin' a in the street



Aw, it doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

So come on every guy

Grab a girl, everywhere around the world



We'll be dancin'

We're dancin in the street (dancin' in the street)

This is an invitation across the nation

A chance for folks to meet

They'll be laughin', singin' and music swingin'

We're dancin' in the street



Philadelphia, P. A. (dancin' in the street)

Baltimore and D. C. now (dancin' in the street)

Can't forget the Motor City (dancin' in the street)

All we need is music

(Sweet sweet) sweet music (sweet sweet music)

They'll be music everwhere (everywhere)

They'll be swingin' and swayin' (swayin')

And records playin' (playin')

Dancin' in the street



Aw, it doesn't matter what you wear

Just as long as you are there

So come on every guy, grab a girl

Everywhere around the world



We're dancin', we're dancin' in the street

(Dancin in the street)

Way down in L. A. everyday

We're dancin' in the street (in the street)

Let's form a big strong line

Get in time we're dancin' in the street

(Dancin' in the street)



[Fades]



Across the ocean blue, me and you
