Summer in the City Lyrics. [Verse 1] 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....
Go out and find a girl. Come on, come on and dance all night. Despite the heat it'll be all right. 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.

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. 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.
