The heat is on for summer groove
Get up and make your body move
A touch of love is in the air, oh, oh, oh, oh

Now and then my body calls her name
The summer breeze just fuels the fire
The city feeds the flame

[Chorus]
Summer in the city, sweet girl
Summer in the city
Summer in the city, sweet girl
Summer in the city

My body aches so sensuously tonight
A summer hunger to be fair
The feelings are so right

[Chorus]

[Verse]
"Come on, everybody let's have some fun
The streets are on fire so blame it on the sun
In the summertime, the streets and the mix
So pound the pavement and get your kicks
Dancin' the beat till your on your face
So rap the slap and kick the bass
Accept the fact that it`s down and gritty
It is summertime, summer in the city"

People jivin' and dancing in the street
The night is hot, the tension's high
The gangs rap to the beat

[Chorus x2]

Summer in the city
Summer in the city

[Chorus]
