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      instrumental break      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
