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
