| VERSE 1: |
| Am | Am7 | |
| Hot town, | summer in the city |
| D | F | E | |
| Back of my neck getting | dirty and gritty |
| Am | Am7 | |
| Been down, | Isn't it a pity |
| D | F | E | |
| Doesn't seem to be a | shadow in the city |
| E | E7 | |
| All around, | people looking half dead |
| Am | A | |
| Walking on the sidewalk, | hotter than a match head. |
| CHORUS: |
| Dm | G | |
| But at night it's a | different world |
| Dm | G | |
| Go out and | find a girl |
| Dm | G | |
| Come-on come-on and | dance all night |
| Dm | G | |
| Despite the heat it'll | be alright |
| Bm | Em | |
| And | Babe, don't you | know it's a pity |
| Bm | E | |
| That the | days can't | be like the nights |
| Bm | E | Bm | E | |
| 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 |
