Dancing In The Street          (Van Halen version)
 (Stevenson/Hunter/Gay)


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 dance in Chicago     (There’ll be dancing)
Down in New Orleans      (dancing in the street)
Up in New York City       (dancing in the street)


All we need is music, sweet music     (sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere              (sweet music everywhere)
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'          (uuuh ---- )
And dancin' in the streets


Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear       (aaah---------- )
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


It’s just an invitation   (uuuh)
Across the nation
A chance for the folks to meet
There'll be laughin' and singin' and music swingin'
And dancin' in the streets


Philadelphia, P.A.             (dancing in the street)
Baltimore MDC now        (dancing in the street)
Yeah don't forget the Motor City      (dancing in the street)




All we need is music, sweet music       (sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere               (sweet music everywhere)
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'
And dancin' in the street


Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear       (aaah----)
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world

Dancing, dancin’ in the street  (dancin’ in the street)
We dance everyday, everyday dancin’ in the street
San Fransisco Bay, every everyday now
Down in New Orleans
Dancin’ in the street
