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.
'Til I'm wheezing at a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at 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.
