Summer In The City

Lovin' Spoonful

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


Till 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
