Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer in the city sure is sweet
Listen to that syncopated city beat
Listen to that tenor horn somewhere
Blowing blue and easy in the warm summer air
Summer in the city, someone's hot
All the lovers lookin' for a nice cool spot
You beside me strolling through the dark
Hoping we can find a little breeze in the park
City people, city sights
Busy streets on sultry nights
It's all so wonderful, strange and pretty
You and love and the sprawlin' city
[Instrumental]
I hope you still love me when the city grows cold
Yeah, when the city grows cold
When the city grows cold
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, when that city grows cold
Written by: Norman Curtis, Oscar Brown, Jr.
