Dancing In The Street

(álbum: The Mamas And The Papas - 1966)

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets.

They're dancing 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 swinging and swaying and records playing
And dancing 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 laughing, singing, and music swinging
And dancing 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 swinging and swaying and records playing
And dancing 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 dancing,
Be dancing in the streets
Philadelphia, P.A. (Philadelphia, P.A.)
Baltimore and DC now (Baltimore and DC now)
Can't forget that Motor City.
