Dancing In The Street Lyrics by Van Halen

Dancing In The Street

[Words by William Stevenson, Ivy Jo Hunter & Marvin Gaye]

Woo!
Ah, yeah!

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

They're dancin' in Chicago [They'll be dancin']
Down in New Orleans [Dancin' in the streets]
Up in New York City [Dancing in the streets]

All we need is music [Sweet sweet]
Sweet music [sweet sweet music]
There'll be music everywhere [sweet music everywhere]

[Ooh-oo-ooh] There'll be swingin', swayin', records playin'
Dancin' in the street

[Ah] Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on [Ah] every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, 'round the world
There'll be dancin', dancin' in the street

[Ooh-oo-ooh] It's just an invitation, 'cross the nation
A chance for the folks to meet
There'll be laughin', singin', music swingin'
Dancin' in the street

Philadelphia, PA [Dancin' in the street]
Baltimore, in D.C. now [Dancin' in the streets]
Can't forget the Motor City [Dancin' in the streets]

All we need is music [Sweet sweet]
Sweet music [sweet sweet music]
There'll be music everywhere [sweet music everywhere]

[Oooh-oo-ooh] There'll be swingin', swayin', records playin'
Dancin' in the street, oh!
[Ah] Doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
Come on, [Ah] every guy, grab your girl, everywhere, 'round the world

Wow!
Hey hey hey!
Ow yeah, ow!

[Guitar Solo]

Dancin', they're dancin' in the street
[Dancin' in the streets]
Way down in L.A. everyday
[Dancin' in the streets]
Dancin' in the street
[Dancin' in the streets]
San Francisco way [Ooh-ooh-ooh]
[Dancin' in the streets]
They do it everyday now
[Dancin' in the streets]
Across the ocean blue, ]Ooh-ooh-ooh] me an' you
[Dancin' in the streets]
Dancin' in the street
[Dancin' in the streets]
