Styx — Summer in the City

[Verse 1] Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty Been 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 [Refrain] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] 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 [Verse 3] Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty Been 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 [Refrain] But at night it's a different world (oh yeah) Go out and find a girl (find a girl) Come on, come on and dance all night (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 Oh yeah [Outro] Hot city Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah In the city
