Dancing in the Street
Reeves Martha Lyrics

Calling out around the world
Announcing to everyone in the world

Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Are you prepared for a new and different sound?

Summer's here and the time is right
It's summertime and now is the perfect moment

For dancing in the street
To dance outside on the street

They're dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
People are dancing in Chicago, outdoors

Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New Orleans, individuals are dancing on the roads

In New York City (dancing in the street)
In New York City, people are dancing on the streets

All we need is music, sweet music
We only need cheerful, upbeat music

There'll be music everywhere
Music will be all over the place

There'll be swinging, swaying, and records playing
There will be people twisting and turning in rhythm with the music being played

Dancing in the street
Dancing on the road

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Your clothing isn't an issue

Just as long as you are there
All that matters is your presence

So come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everybody, lads, take a lady by the arm

Everywhere around the world
All around the world

It's an invitation across the nation
It's a call across the country

A chance for folks to meet
An opportunity for people to gather and interact

There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging
There will be lots of laughter, singing, and upbeat music

Dancing in the street
Dancing on the road

Philadelphia, PA (dancing in the street)
In Philadelphia, PA, individuals dance on the streets

Baltimore and D.C. now (dancing in the street)
In Baltimore and D.C, people are now dancing outside

Can't forget the Motor City (dancing in the street)
Detroit, MI, also has people dancing on the roads

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Your outfit doesn't matter

Just as long as you are there
Your presence is what matters

So come on, every guy, grab a girl
All men, take a woman by the hand

Everywhere around the world
In every corner of the world

They're dancing
They are dancing

They're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
They are dancing on the roads

Way down in L.A. (dancing in the street)
Even in Los Angeles, folks still dance on the streets

Every day, they're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
People dance outside every day

Let's form a big, strong line (dancing in the street)
We should create a massive, unwavering line of dancers

Get in time, we're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
Get in rhythm, we're dancing outside

Across the ocean blue (dancing in the street)
Even on the other side of the sea, people dance on roads

Me and you, we're dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
You and I are dancing on the road
