All night, a weasel at the bus stop
Till I'm wheezing at the bus stop
Back of my neck gettin' burned and pretty
Bend down, isn't it a pity?
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Do what you do, it'll be alright.
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright.
Come-on, come-on, we'll dance all night
Just like the heat, it'll be alright.
Come-on, come-on, and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be alright.
Cool town, even in the city
Cool town evening in the city
Don't you know it's a critical place?
or
Don't you know it's a quizzical place?
Don't you know it's a pity the days?
July wheezing like a bus stop
or
Gonna meet you at the bus stop
or
Gonna meet you at the bus stop
Till I'm wheezing at the bus stop
Got a hook with Aaron Carter from the city.
Gonna look in every corner of the city.
Hollerin' in the mansions
Hotter than a matchhead
Hot Damn! Summer in the city.
Back of my neck feeling pert and pretty,
Hot town! Summer in the city.
Back of my neck feeling dirt 'n' gritty
Hot damn! Summer in the city
back of my neck getting dirt and pretty.
Pinned down, isn't it a pity
doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city.
All 'round people lookin' half-dead
walking on the sidewalk
rollin' in the matches.
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
Hot damn! Summer in the city
back of my neck getting dirt and pretty.
Bend down, isn't it a pity
doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city.
All 'round people lookin' half-dead
walking on the sidewalk
haulin in a matress
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
Hot damn! Summer in the city.
Back of my face never looked so pretty.
Hot town! Summer in the city.
Back of my neck feeling dirt 'n' gritty.
Hot damn! Summer in the city
Back of my neck feeling pelican pretty.
Hot town! Summer in the city
Back of my neck feeling dirt 'n' gritty.
Hot down summer in the city
Back of my neck getting burnt to bitty
(later)
All night, people looking out there
Walking in the sidewalk, cornering the matches
(later)
Cool town, living in the city
dust so fine and looking so pretty
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting burnt and gritty
(later)
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
(later)
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Hot now, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty, pretty
Hot town, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All 'round people lookin' half-dead
Walking all 'round
Lookin' hotter than a match, yeah.
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.
Hot town summer in the city,
back of my neck getting dirt and gritty.
Bend down isn't it a pity
Hot town summer in the city,
back of my neck getting burnt and gritty.
Been down isn't it a pity
Hot town summer in the city
Breaking my neck getting dirty and gritty.
Bend down isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the ciry.
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.
Hot tramp, summer in the city
Hot town, summer in the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop or Till I'm wheezin' like a bus stop or July wheezin' like a bus stop or Gonna meet you at the bus stop
Till I'm wheezy like a bus stub
Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than-a my chair.
Walkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head.
top down, summer in the city
back of my neck sure is sticky.
bent down, looking at 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.
Hot down summer in the city, back of my nuts getting dirty gritty.
Hot town summer in the city, back of my neck getting burnt and gritty.
Hot time some in the city, back of my net getting dirt and gritty.
Hot town summer in the city, back of my neck getting burnt and gritty.
Loving Spoonful's, "Summer in the City"
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and pretty
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Hotter than a mansion
Hotter than a matchhead
Just bag the heat, it'll be alright
Despite the heat it'll be alright
Just like me, it'll be all right.
Despite the heat, it'll be all right.
