Letra de
Summer In The City

Summer in the City é uma música da banda de rock americana The Lovin Spoonful, lançada em 1966. Escrita por John Sebastian, Mark Sebastian e Steve Boone, a música rapidamente se tornou um hit, chegando ao topo das paradas da Billboard Hot 100. A inspiração para a letra veio da observação dos Sebastian Brothers sobre a vida da cidade durante o verão, capturando o contraste entre o calor do dia e a vida vibrante da cidade à noite.

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

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
Till I'm wheezin' like a bus stop
Runnin' up the stairs, gonna meet you 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'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


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
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
