Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City Lyrics
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
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
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
Til I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs
Gonna meet you on the rooftop
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
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
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
