I been smoggy hot out in L.A.
 I been high 'n dry hot in Colorado
 I been charred out on the Midwest Plains
 I been madhatter flattened by the heat in Manhattan
 I been muggy on the Mighty Miss
 I been burned like a stick on Route 66
 But I ain't never been this
 Chorus:
 Hot'lanta, how come you do me this way
 When you're 99 in the noonday sun
 And a hundred and one in the shade
 Hot'lanta, I think I prefer your nights
 With your cosmopolitan caf? women
 How they do go on and on
 Down in Hot'lanta
 In a fuselage in a crowded sky
 I was trying very hard not to think
 But in a paranoid vision of the worst that could happen
 I asked my stewardess "Just one more drink"
 The cabin temperature had me in a blur
 I was shaking by the time we touched down
 We hit that tarmac
 Hell bent for Mary Mac's
 Back in your sizzlin' town
 Chorus
