Dancing In The Street Lyrics By The Mamas The Papas

    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 streets

    they’re dancin’ in chicago
    down in new orleans
    up in new york city

    all we need is music sweet music
    sweet music sweet music
    there’ll be music everywhere oh everywhere
    there’ll be swingin’ swayin’ and records playin’
    and dancin’ 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
    there’ll be dancin’
    they’re dancin’ in the street

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

    there’ll be laughin’ and singin’
    and music swingin’
    and dancin’ in the street

    there’ll be swingin’ swayin’ and records playin’
    and dancin’ in the street yeah

    just as long as you are there
    so come on every guy grasp a girl
    everywhere around the world
