	Cm	Bb
	Hot town,	summer in the city

	F	Ab
	Back of my neck getting	dirty and gritty (*see below)

	Cm	Bb
	Been down,	Isn't it a pity

	F	Ab
	Doesn't seem to be a	shadow in the city

	G	G7
	All around,	people looking half dead

	Cm	C
	Walking on the sidewalk,	hotter than a match head.

CHORUS:

	F	Bb
	But at night it's a	different world

	F	Bb
	Go out and	find a girl

	F	Bb
	Come-on come-on and	dance all night

	F	Bb
	Despite the heat it'll	be alright

	Dm	G
And	Babe, don't you	know it's a pity

	Dm	G
That the	days can't	be like the nights

	Dm	G	Dm	G
In the	summer, In the	city, In the	summer, In the	city

VERSE 2:

Cool town, evening in the city

Dressing so fine and looking so pretty

Cool cat, looking for a kitty

Gonna look in every corner of the city

Till I'm wheezing like 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
