Summer In The City

(Album: There's A Lot Of It About - 1968)

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my necks 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 sidewalks, hotter than a match head

Walk around it's different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Get off your shoes it'll be all right

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, 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 rooftops

Walk around it's different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Get off your shoes it'll be all right

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

Summer in the city...
