The Stranglers
Summer in the City
[Verse 1]
Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and -
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city
All around me people looking half dead
Choking on the sidewalk
It's hotter than a match head

[Chorus]
At night it's a different town
Go out and find a girl
Come on come on and dance all night
Just what you need, it will be alright
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

[Verse 2]
Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and -
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city
All around me people looking half dead
Choking on the sidewalk
It's hotter than a match head
[Chorus]
At night it's a different town
Go out and find a girl
Come on come on and dance all night
Just what you need, it will be alright
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

[Verse 3]
Cool town meeting in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
'Til I'm wheezing at the bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the roof top

[Chorus]
At night it's a different town
Go out and find a girl
Come on come on and dance all night
Just what you need it will be alright
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
[Outro]
In the summer in the city
In the summer
