Lyrics to "Summer In The City" song by The Lovin' Spoonful: Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity? D. .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 all right. 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.

Meanwhile, Summer in the City, a propulsive, apolitical rock song by the New York-based the Lovin’ Spoonful, was climbing the charts to No. 1, reassuring listeners that despite the heat it’ll be all right. The song soon became a contender for the band’s next album, which they were under pressure to produce quickly. Cavallo had us on the road so much that we never had the luxury of dedicated periods of recording, said Steve Boone, the bass player. By March of 1966, just a few months after wrapping Daydream, they were back in the studio to record what would become Hums of the Lovin’ Spoonful, which would feature Summer in the City.
