Summer in the City - The Stranglers

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

Go out and find a 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

Go out and find a girl

Come on, come on let?

s 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
