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
