Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty 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 [Refrain:] 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 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 [Refrain] Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty 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 [Refrain]
