Summer in the City - Joe Cocker

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck gettin' dirt 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

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

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

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

(break)

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
