401. THE LOVIN" SPOONFUL - Summer in the City

11 седмици, № 1

Автори: Джон Себасчън, Стив Бун, Марк Себасчън

Продуцент: Ерик Джейкъбсън

Издадена: юни 1966, Kama Sutra

"Summer in the City" е стилистичен поврат за Lovin" Spoonful - по-яка и не така мечтателна. "Разбрахме, че единственият начин да се задържим е да звучим съвсем различно във всеки сингъл" - казва Джон Себасчън. Клаксоните на колите подсилват темата с градска суровост и гершуиновско великолепие.

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting burnt 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, evening in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I"m wheezing at the bus stop
Running 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
That 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
That the days can"t be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
