[G] [Cm]
Hot Town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Bent down, isn't it a pity, doesn't seem to [Ab] be a [G] shadow in the city
All around, people [Cm] looking half dead, walking on the sidewalk, [C] hotter than a match head
[F] [Bb] But tonight it's a different [F] world, [Bb] go out and find a girl
[F] Come [Bb] on, come on and dance all [F] night, start to [Bb] groove, it'll be [Dm] alright
And babe, [G] don't you know that [Dm] today's the day
[G] Can't be like [Dm] the night in the summer, [G] in the city, in [Dm] the summer, [G] in the [Cm] city
Cool town, eating in the city, dust so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat looking for a kitty, gonna look in [Ab] every [G] corner of the city
Chill, I'm wheezing like [Cm] a bus stop, running upstairs, [C] gonna meet you on the rooftop
[F] But tonight [Bb] it's a different [F] world, go [Bb] out and find a girl
[F] [Bb] Come on, come on and dance all [F] night, start to groove, [Bb] it'll be [Dm] alright
And babe, [G] don't you know that [Dm] today's the day
[G] Can't be like the [Dm] night in the summer, [G] in the city, [Dm] in the summer, [G] in the city
