Dancing in the Street Songtext
von The Walker Brothers

Stevenson-Gaye

OK, talk to you
South America, Australia, France, Germany, UK, Africa.

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer′s here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets.

They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City.

All we need is music, sweet music
There′ll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh.

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
They′ll be dancing, dancing in the street.


It′s an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street.

Philadelphia, PA, Baltimore in DC now
Don′t forget the Motor City, on the streets of Brazil
Back in the USSR, no matter where you are.

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They′ll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, 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 dancing, dancing in the streets.

Way down in L.A., everyday, dancing in the streets
Cross in China too, me and you, dancing in the street
Don't you know they'll be dancing?
Dancing in the street
Don′t you know ...
