“Hot town, summer in the city/Back of my neck getting dirty 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/Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
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” – “Summer in the City” by The Lovin’ Spoonful
