Summer In The City

Joe Cocker

1. Hot town, summer in the city
   Back of my neck gettin' 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 matchhead

R: But at night it's a different world
   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

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

R: But at night... (2x)
