Dancing in the Streets Live at Fox Theater Atlanta May 19 1977 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics
[Intro]
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
[Verse 1]
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 street
They're dancing in Chicago
And down in New Orleans
In New York City
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the streets
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
[Chorus]
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
[Verse 2]
This is an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be swinging and swinging, music playing
We're dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore and DC now
Can't forget the Motor City
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be laughing and swinging, music singing
And dancing in the streets
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
[Chorus]
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
[Instrumental break]
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Everybody now
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Everybody now
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
[Outro Dialogue]
We'll be back in just a few minutes, so everybody hang loose
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
[Verse 1]
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 street
They're dancing in Chicago
And down in New Orleans
In New York City
[Pre-Chorus]
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the streets
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

Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
Dancing, dancing, dancing in the streets
