Mick Jagger & David Bowie

Dancing in the Street 

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
So come on every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
        They'll be dancing, dancing in the streets

             Way down in LA, 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
                Dancing in the street
