In New York City (dancin’ in the street)
All we need is music, (sweet, sweet) sweet music (sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (everywhere)
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'
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' (dancin’ in the street)

A chance for folks to meet
