Woo!
Ah, yeah!
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 street
They're dancin' in Chicago (They'll be dancin')
Down in New Orleans (Dancin' in the streets)
Up in New York City (Dancing in the streets)
All we need is music (Sweet sweet)
Sweet music (sweet sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (sweet music everywhere)
(Ooh-oo-ooh) There'll be swingin', swayin', records playin'
Dancin' in the street
(Ah) Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on (Ah) every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, 'round the world
There'll be dancin', dancin' in the street
(Ooh-oo-ooh) It's just an invitation, 'cross the nation
A chance for the folks to meet
There'll be laughin', singin', music swingin'
Dancin' in the street
Philadelphia, PA (Dancin' in the street)
Baltimore, in D.C. now (Dancin' in the streets)
Can't forget the Motor City (Dancin' in the streets)
All we need is music (Sweet sweet)
Sweet music (sweet sweet music)
There'll be music everywhere (sweet music everywhere)
(Oooh-oo-ooh) There'll be swingin', swayin', records playin'
Dancin' in the street, oh!
(Ah) Doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
Come on, (Ah) every guy, grab your girl, everywhere, 'round the world
Wow!
Hey hey hey!
Ow yeah, ow!
(Guitar Solo)
Dancin', they're dancin' in the street
(Dancin' in the streets)
Way down in L.A. everyday
(Dancin' in the streets)
Dancin' in the street
(Dancin' in the streets)
San Francisco way (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Dancin' in the streets)
They do it everyday now
(Dancin' in the streets)
Across the ocean blue, )Ooh-ooh-ooh) me an' you
(Dancin' in the streets)
Dancin' in the street
(Dancin' in the streets)

    General Comment:OMGreensocks! :) I love their version-no it's not like anything better then the
    original. But it got such a feel good vibe. So good that it was the theme music
    to a late night high speed joy ride that we filmed when we took a couple of
    t-top camaros and raced them...oops. Don't tell k? K.

    General Comment:Not one of Van Halen's best efforts at all, from what I consider to be an overly commercial album (Diver Down) - "Where Have All The Good Times Gone?" and "Secrets" are the only tracks there which truly rock out.

    General Comment:I may be a "classic", but everyone in the band (except for Dave) hated it!
