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
