"Summer In The City" lyrics
(originally by The 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
So nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, 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 just like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
So nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, 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
'Til I'm wheezing just like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
So nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, 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
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
So nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, 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 just like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
So nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, 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
'Til I'm wheezing just like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
So nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, 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
