We're in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roam
I'm a little lost lamb
Ain't got no place to go
Now I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
And I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a home in the heart of the city

Now I'm steppin' on the street
And I'm sniffin at the air
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a lover
A-lookin', lookin' everywhere
Maybe I'm in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
It's a girl, my Lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city

I'm lookin', I'm lookin', I'm lookin', I'm lookin'
I'm lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin' everywhere
In the heart of the city

We're in the heart of the city
We're in a car tp the stars
I hear the constant music
Of a thousand guitars
And the boys are on the prowl
Oh, they're checkin' on me
They know a bird up in the hand
Is worth two on the street
A-checkin' on heat in the heart of the city

I said the heart, heart, of the city
Heart, heart, ooh yeah
Heart, heart, of the city
Heart, heart, hey now
Heart, heart, of the city
Heart, heart, ooh yeah
