City in Heat lyrics

There's a tumult on the side street

And you wake up with a bang

It's a Tom and Huck version

Of a ghetto gang

The natives are restless

There's a war dance on

They've been beating the cans all morning long

City in heat

It's like a carnival

Down in the street

City in heat

If you got the revenue

You got it beat 

Bad beat down

When the tight skirts start to wiggle

And the women got their cheeks sucked in

There's a fistful of trouble

From the corner din

There's a push and shove

For a piece of the action

If you don't put out, you can't get no satisfaction

City in heat

It's like a carnival

Down in the street

City in heat

If you got the revenue

You got it beat 

Bad beat down

City in heat

It's like a carnival

Down in the street

City in heat

If you got the revenue

You got it beat 

Bad beat down

City in heat

It's like a carnival

Down in the street

City in heat

If you got the revenue

You got it beat 

Bad beat down

City in heat

It's like a carnival

Down in the street

City in heat

If you got the revenue

You got it beat 

Bad beat down
