Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck gettin' dirt-'n'-gritty Bend 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 a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Just bide the heat it'll be all right And babe 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, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city 'Til I'm wheezing like a bus stop Runnin' upstairs gonna meet you on the roof top But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Just bide the heat it'll be all right And babe 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 Back of my neck gettin' dirt-'n'-gritty Bend 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 a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Just bide the heat it'll be all right And babe 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
