Intro:
Verse 1:
Hot town summer in the city, back of 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!
Chorus:
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 the days can't be
like the nights,
In the summer...in the city, in the summer... in the city!
Verse 2:
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!
Chorus:
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 the days can't be
like the nights,
In the summer...in the city, in the summer... in the city
