Summer in the City   (The Lovin’ Spoonful) - STING 21814   (Bronc Wise)

 

 (Opener): CIRCLE LEFT:

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

ALLEMANDE that Corner Girl - TURN your PARTNER by the RIGHT

 - ALLEMANDE that Corner - then you WEAVE around that RING - well

At night it's a different world - go on 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

 

 

 (Figure): HEADS SQUARE THRU and go you get FOUR hand around your gonna go

All the way in the middle and then - a RIGHT AND LEFT THRU you turn my friend

VEER to the LEFT - CHAIN DOWN THE LINE - send her back DIXIE STYLE - make an OCEAN WAVE

BOY CROSS RUN and then - BOY FOLD the GIRL TURN BACK

SWING and whirl that Corner one and - PROMENADE around the ring

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

 

 

 (Middle Break & Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE - go!

 

       (Let the Music play...)

 

- ALLEMANDE and WEAVE

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

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

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, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But at night it's a different world
Go out…
