Summer in the City Songtext
von The Lovin’ Spoonful

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin′ dirt' 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
Walkin' 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
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city


Cool town, evenin′ in the city
Dress 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
Runnin′ 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
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′ dirt', and, and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn′t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people lookin′ half-dead
Walkin' 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
The days can′t be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
Summer in the city
