Summer in the City

Hot town summer in the city

Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty

I been down, isn't it a pity?

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people lookin' half-dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night, it's a different world

Go out and find me a girl

Come on, come on, dance all night

Despite the heat, it'll be alright (come on, come on)

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

Cool town evening in the city

Dressed so fine and looking so pretty

Cool cat lookin' for a kitty

Gonna look in every corner of the city

'Til I'm a-whistling like the bus stop

Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But tonight is a different world

Go out and find me a girl

Come on, come on, we'll dance all night

Despite the heat, it'll be alright (come on, come on)

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 tonight, it's a different world (baby, tonight, tonight)

Go out and find me a girl

Come on, come on, we'll dance all night (come on, come on)

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

Hot town summer in the city

Ooh, baby, come and get it

Hot town summer in the city
