Summer In The City

Taken from the 1994 album Have a Little Faith, by Joe Cocker, this song is a cover of the 1966 song by The Lovin' Spoonful and was released by Cocker as a single in 1993.

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 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 The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city 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 every corner of the city 'Til I'm weezin' at the bus stop Runnin' up the stairs gonna meet Ya on the roof-top 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 The days can't be like the nights In the summer in the city 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 and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, 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 Summer in the city Cool town Summer in the city Cool town Evenin' in the city Living in the city Summer time Summer in the city Evenin' in the city Summer in the city
