The Lovin' Spoonful — Summer in the City

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 The days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city [Verse 2] Cool town, evenin' in the city Dressin' so fine and lookin' so pretty Cool cat, lookin' for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city 'Til I'm wheezin' like a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop [Chorus] 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 The days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city [Bridge] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 The days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city
