Verse 1:
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
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
That 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
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
