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
|
Till I'm wheezing 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
|
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
|
