Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 the people lookin' half dead
Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
[Verse 2]
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 will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity, the days can't be like the night
In the summer, in the city, in the summer in the city
[Verse 3]
Cool town, evening in the city, dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty
Cool cat, lookin' for a kitty, gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Runnin' up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
[Verse 4]
But at night it's a different world, go out and find a girl, come on
Come on, let's dance all night, despite the heat, it will be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity, the days can't be like the night
In the summer, in the city, in the summer in the city
[Verse 5]
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 will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity, the days can't be like the night
In the summer, in the city, in the summer in the city
[Verse 6]
Summer in the city
There we go
[Verse 7]
A cool town, evening in the city
Feel the back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty
Livin' in the city
In the summertime, babe
I'm cooled down, I'm cool, girl
Hop on, livin' in the city
Summer in the city
