Lovin’ Spoonful – Summer in the City – 1966

Lyrics

 

Hot town, summer in the cityBack of my neck gettin’ dirty and grittyBeen down, isn’t it a pity?Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the cityAll around, people lookin’ half deadWalkin’ on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night, it’s a different worldGo out and find a girlCome on, come on, and dance all nightDespite the heat, it’ll be alrightAnd babe, don’t you know it’s a pityThe days can’t be like the nightsIn the summer in the cityIn the summer in the city
Cool town, evening in the cityDressed so fine and lookin’ so prettyCool cat lookin’ for a kittyGonna look in every corner of the city‘Til I’m wheezing like a bus stopRunnin’ upstairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night, it’s a different worldGo out and find a girlCome on, come on, and dance all nightDespite the heat, it’ll be alrightAnd babe, don’t you know it’s a pityThe days can’t be like the nightsIn the summer in the cityIn the summer in the city
Hot town, summer in the cityBack of my neck gettin’ dirty and grittyBeen down, isn’t it a pity?Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the cityAll around, people lookin’ half deadWalkin’ on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night, it’s a different worldGo out and find a girlCome on, come on, and dance all nightDespite the heat, it’ll be alrightAnd babe, don’t you know it’s a pityThe days can’t be like the nightsIn the summer in the cityIn the summer in the city
