Lyrics Summer in the City - Live - Joe Cocker

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half-dead
Kept walking down the sidewalk, other than a matchhead

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's gonna be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Cool town, evenin' in the city
Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty
Cool cat lookin' for a kitty
Gonna look in ev'ry corner of the city
'Til I'm weezin' at the bus stop
Runnin' up the stairs gonna meet ya on 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 will be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, let's dance all night
Despite the heat it's gonna be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
The summer through the city

Hot talk
Somewhere in the city
A cool girl
Let me know the city now
Let me baby

Hot town, help me
Cool girl, moving off the city you know
I feel it, and it's different from the world
Will you let me find the city girl?

Hot town, danger
Moving along the city you help me
Been looking for a different world
Will you let me know the city girl?
