Summer in the City

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty
I've 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?
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 every corner of the city

'Til I'm weezin' at the bus-stop
Runnin' 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, let's dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright
And baby, 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

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 baby, 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

Summer in the city
Hot town
Summer in the city

Baby girl, a cool town
Evenin' in the city

(Ooh-)
And the back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty
Livin' in the city

In the summertime, babe
(Summer in the city)
A cool town, a cool town, I have fun
Evenin' in the city
(Summer in the city) and it's a different world, yeah
