Dm          Dm                 G 
Hot town, summer in the city; back of
                 A#         A
my neck getting dirty and gritty
Dm          Dm                G 
Been down, isn't it a pity; doesn't seem to be
   A#            A
a shadow in the city
A           G
All around, people looking half dead
 F                        D  
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

Chorus:
G                    C
But at night it's a different world
G           C
Go out and find a girl
G                    C
Come-on come-on and dance all night
G                       C
Despite the heat it'll be alright
     Em               A
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
         Em          A
That the days can't be like the nights
       Em              A
In the summer, in the city
       Em              A
In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evenin' in the city
Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty
Cool cat lookin' for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
'Til I'm weezin' at the bus stop
Runnin' up the stairs gonna meet
Ya on the roof-top

Chorus

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'll 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
Summer in the city
Cool town
Summer in the city
Cool town
Evenin' in the city
Living in the city
Summer time
Summer in the city
Evenin' in the city
Summer in the city
