All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'
And dancing 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 dancing

A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughin' and singin' and music swingin'
And dancing in the streets
