VERSE 1:
 C#mE
 Hot town, summer in the city
 F#A
 Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
 C#mE
 Been down, Isn't it a pity
 F#A
 Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
 G#G#7
 All around, people looking half dead
 C#mC#
 Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head.

CHORUS:
 F#B
 But at night it's a different world
 F#B
 Go out and find a girl
 F#B
 Come-on come-on and dance all night
 F#B
 Despite the heat it'll be alright
 EbmG#m
And Babe, don't you know it's a pity
 EbmG#
That the days can't be like the nights
 EbmG#EbmG#
In the summer, In the city, In the summer, In the city

VERSE 2:
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so sharp and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing at a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at 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
