[Cm] Hot town, summer in [A] the city, back of [Ab] my neck getting dirty [Cm] and gritty
Bent down, isn't it a [A] pity, doesn't seem to be a [G] shadow in the city
All around, [G] people looking half [Cm] dead, walking on the sidewalk [C] hotter than a match head
[Bb] But tonight it's a different [F] world, go [Bb] out and find a girl
Come on, come [Bb] on and dance all [F] night, start the [Bb] heat, it'll be [Dm] alright
And babe, [G] don't you know what the [Dm] pretty of the days
[G] Can't be like [Dm] the night in the summer, [G] in the city, in the summer
In the city
[Cm] Cool town, even in the city, [A] dress so fine and looking [Cm] so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty, [A] gonna look in every corner of the [G] city

[F] But tonight [Bb] it's a different [F] world, go [Bb] out and find a [F] girl
Come on, come [Bb] on and dance all [F] night, start the [Bb] heat, it'll be [Dm] alright
