Lyrics
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around me people looking half-dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a matchhead
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, we'll 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 more like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
I'm dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty
I'm a cool cat lookin' for a kitty
I better look in every corner of the city
Until I'm wheezing at the bus stop
Runnin' up the stairs, I'm gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, we'll 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 more like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city, yeah, oh
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around me people looking half-dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a matchhead
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, we'll 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
Hot town
In the, in the, hot town
Oh, nothing but a hot town
Cool, cool, cool down baby
Hot town
Hot town, yeah
Nothing but a, a cool down in the city
Hot town
Cool down, baby, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, ha, hot town
