Dancing In The Street Lyrics - A Gathering Of Flowers: The Anthology Of The Mamas & The Papas - 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 (everywhere) 

There'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playin' 

And dancin' in the streets 

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear 

Just as long as you are there 

So come on, every guy (come on) grab a girl 

Everywhere around the world 

There'll be dancing 

They're dancing in the street 

This is an invitation 

Across the nation 

A chance for the folks to meet 

There'll be laughin', singin', and music swingin' 

And dancin' in the streets 

Philadelphia, P.A. (Philadelphia, P.A.) 

Baltimore and DC now (Baltimore and DC now) 

Yeah, don't forget the Motor City 

(Can't forget the Motor City) 

All we need is music (sweet music) 

Sweet music (sweet music) 

There'll be music everywhere (everywhere) 

There'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playin' 

And dancin' in the street, yeah 

Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear 

Just as long as you are there 

So come on, every guy (come on, come on) grasp a girl 

Everywhere around the world 

There'll be dancin' 

Be dancin' in the streets 

Philadelphia, P.A. (Philadelphia, P.A.) 

Baltimore and DC now (Baltimore and DC now) 

Can't forget that Motor City 

(Can't forget the Motor City) 

Way down in L.A., California 

(Way down in L.A., California) 

Not to mention Halifax, Nova Scotia (not to mention, indeed) 

Or Long Barn they do that Riverdale, cream you know (yes, I know) 

Manchester (and, oh, Amherst, Amherst) 

Alexandria (Virginia, Virginia) 

Falls Church (where's that) 

Oh, Boyle Heights (Boyle Heights, never heard of it)
