Summer In The City - The Flying Pickets

Hot town summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirt 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

Every boy and every girl

Come on, come on and dance all night

Despite the heat it will be alright

And babe, don’t you know it’s a pity

The days can’t be like the night

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city

Cool town, evening in the city

Dressed so fine and looking so pretty

Cool cat lookin' for a kitty

Gonna look in every corner of the city

Till I’m weezin' like a bus stop

Running up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof top

But at night it’s a different world

Every boy and every girl

Come on, come on lets dance all night

Despite the heat it will be alright

And babe, don’t you know it’s a pity

The days can’t be like the night

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city

Hot town summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirt 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

Every boy and every girl

Come on, come on and dance all night

Despite the heat it will be alright

And babe don’t you know it’s a pity

The days can’t be like the night

In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city

Hot town, hot town, hot town summer in the city

Hot town, hot town, hot town summer in the city

Hot town, hot town, hot town summer in the city

But at night it’s a different world

Every boy and every girl

Come on, come on and dance all night

Despite the heat it will be alright

And babe don’t you know it’s a pity

The days can’t be like the night

In the summer in the city…
