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 halfdead
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
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
dressin’ so fine and lookin’ so pretty
cool cat lookin’ for a kitty
gonna look in every corner of the city
’til i’m wheezin’ 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
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 halfdead
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
the days can’t be like the nights
in the summer in the city
in the summer in the city
