Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'

Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Election's over and the time is right
For dancin' in the street
There dancin' in Chicago (dancin' in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancin' in the street)
In New York City (dancin' in the street)
All we need is music (sweet sweet) sweet (sweet sweet) music
They'll be music (music) everywhere (everywhere)
They'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playin'
Dancin' a in the street
Aw, 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
We'll be dancin'
We're dancin in the street (dancin' in the street)
This is an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughin', singin' and music swingin'
We're dancin' in the street
Philadelphia, P.A. (dancin' in the street)
Baltimore and D.C. now (dancin' in the street)
Can't forget the Motor City (dancin' in the street)
All we need is music
(Sweet sweet) sweet music (sweet sweet music)
They'll be music everwhere (everywhere)
They'll be swingin' and swayin' (swayin')
And records playin' (playin')
Dancin' in the street
Aw, 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
We're dancin', we're dancin' in the street
(Dancin in the street)
Way down in L.A. everyday
We're dancin' in the street (in the street)
Let's form a big strong line
Get in time we're dancin' in the street
(Dancin' in the street)
Come young, come middle age, come old, just
get a dancin' in the street or dirt road or path, never in my lifetime did I think this could happen. It will be such a wonderful change having such an astute, pres and first Lady, that actually answers questions!Gives me hope in mankind. We know there is no quick fix, but at least he'll be working on getting the fix rolling.
