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
