   Summer In The City

 

 

  Hot town, summer in the city

  Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

  Been down, isn't it a pity?

  Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

  All around, people looking half dead

  Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

  

  But at night it's a different world

  Go out and find a girl

  Come on, come on and dance all night

  Despite the heat it'll be alright

  

  And babe, don't you know it's a pity

  That the days can't be like the nights

  In the summer, in the city

  In the summer, in the city

  

  Cool town, evening in the city

  Dressing so fine and looking so pretty

  Cool cat, looking for a kitty

  Gonna look in every corner of the city

  Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop

  Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

  

  But at night, it's a different world

  Go out and find a girl

   

  

  Come on, come on and dance all night

  Despite the heat, it'll be alright

  

  And babe, don't you know it's a pity

  That the days can't be like the nights

  In the summer, in the city

  In the summer, in the city

  

  Hot town, summer in the city

  Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

  Been down, isn't it a pity?

  Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

  All around, people looking half dead

  Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

  

  But at night, it's a different world

  Go out and find a girl

  Come on, come on and dance all night

  Despite the heat, it'll be alright

  

  And babe, don't you know it's a pity

  That the days can't be like the nights

  In the summer, in the city

  In the summer, in the city
