In the heart of the city
Where the alligators roam
I'm a little lost when
Ain't got no place to go
Now I ain't got one minute
Just gotta sit on my back
I left home in a hurry
'Til I'm never going back
I'm looking for a home
In the heart of the city
Now I'm stepping on the street
And I'm stepping up the hill
And I'm looking for a lover
Looking, looking everywhere
Maybe I'm in with a chance?
I hear clickety clack
It's a girl my lord
I see her
Stop
Check
Turning double fast
I'm looking for a lover
In the heart of the city
I'm looking, I'm looking
I'm looking, I'm looking
In the heart of the city
Well in the heart of the city
Well it's part of the stars
I hear that cassette music
On a thousand guitars
Hey, the boys are on the prowl
They're checking out meat
They know a bird in the hand
Is worth two on the street
They're checking the meat
In the heart of the city
Well I said
The heart, heart
Of the city
Heart, heart
Oh yeah
Heart, heart
Of the city
Heart, heart
Oh yeah
