作词 : John Sebastian/Mark Sebastian/Steve Boone 作曲 : John Sebastian/Mark Sebastian/Steve Boone Hot town, summer in the city  Back of my neck getting dirty 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'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity  That the days can't be like the nights  In the summer, in the city  In the summer, in the city Cool town, evening in the city  Dressing so fine and looking so pretty  Cool cat, looking for a kitty  Gonna look in every corner of the city  Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop  Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop 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  That the days can't be like the nights  In the summer, in the city  In the summer, in the city Hot town, summer in the city  Back of my neck getting dirty 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'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity  That the days can't be like the nights  In the summer, in the city  In the summer, in the city
