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 matchhead
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 be
like the night
In the summer
in the city
In the summer
in the city
Cool town
evening in the city
Dressing 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 ya on the roof-top
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 be
like the night
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 be
like the night
In the summer
in the city
Summer in the city
Hot town
Summer in the city
A cool town
Living in the city
Wow....
The back of my neck
is dirty and gritty
Living in the city
Summer in the city
