Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 – October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Dance In The Street Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Well, were gonna dance in the street tonight
Well now dance in the street tonight
Were gonna dance to the beat to the heart of the sweet
Were gonna dance in the street tonight
Well, were gonna find a street thats-a hard to use
Cars in a circle and Ill kick off my shoes
Turn on the radio and leave on the light
Ill grab a little chick and well dance all night
Were gonna dance in the street tonight
A-dance in the street tonight
Well now dance to the beat to the heart of the sweet
Were gonna dance in the street tonight (well yeah)
Well, were gonna do the chicken, a-gonna do the bop
A-gonna do the stroll and were gonna do the hop
A-then while were dancin, tell ya what Im gonna do
Every now and then Im gonna steal a kiss from you
And well dance in the street tonight
Well now dance in the street tonight
Well now dance in the street to the heart of the sweet
Were gonna dance in the street tonight (well, yeah)
Well, were gonna dance in the street, hoo-woo-woo
Were gonna dance in the street, hoo-woo-woo
Were gonna dance in the street, oh honey
Gonna dance in the street, ah ha
Gonna dance in the street to the heart of the sweet
Were gonna dance in the street tonight
Well now, dance in the street tonight
Gonna dance in the street tonight
Wooo, dance in the street, ah ha
A-dance in the street, ooh ho
A-dance in the street to the heart of the sweet
Were gonna dance in the street tonight
