Tim Curry Lyrics
"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 seen to be a shadow in the city
All around me people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, it's hotter than a match head, head, head, head

But 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
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

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
'Till I'm wheezing at the bus stop
Running up the stairs gonna meet you on the roof top, top, top, top, top

But 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
But babe don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
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 seen to be a shadow in the city
All around me people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, it's hotter than a match head, head, head, head

But 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
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Is your shirt sticking to your back?

In the summer in the city
