John Sebastian - Summer In The City Lyrics

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty an' gritty
Bend down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around people lookin' 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 all right

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

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressed 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
Runnin' upstairs
Gonna meet you on the roof top

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 all right

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, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty an' gritty
Bend down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around people lookin' 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 all right

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
