Summer in the City lyrics

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck gettin' dirt 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 matchhead

[Refrain:]

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

The days can't be like the nights

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city

Cool town, evenin' in the city

Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty

Cool cat lookin' for a kitty

Gonna look in ev'ry corner of the city

'Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop

Runnin' up the stairs

Gonna meet you on the roof-top

[Refrain]

[1st verse]

[Refrain]
