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
