Jabberminor Remix
Jabber jabber doo
With Hat Films

I get out of my bed, I look out and what do I see
It′s the city, in the city
Going downstairs, getting a bowl, it's probably bad ′cause I haven't washed it where am I
In the city, jabberminor
I grab my keys, get into my car, drive a little way it's not very far
In the city, in the city
Got my sat nav on my iPhone 4, didn′t upgrade ′cause I ain't got no money, ′cause the city's expensive y′all
In the city, jabberminor

Yeah, I listed to jabber, I run down and I can't go far
In the city yo, in the city

I′m in the club, misty, 'cause I'm smoking drugs, what, it′s illegal
In the city
So I′m walking home it's 4 am, I get a kebab ′cause I'm that way-am
In the city, in the city
I′m down the street also with a kebab, tripped over faceplanted on the floor
In the city, in the city
Next morning I wake up, I got a bad hangover, I got fucked up, feeling shitty
In the city

Jabberminor remix
Jabber jabber doo
Jabbadijabbadiwibbidibabbidawoobidibabbiminor

Getting sleepy, time to go to bed, had enough of the city feeling dead
In the city, in the city

Took a (???) to my bed, got some marshmellows in my keep
Closing my left eye, closing my right eye, snuggling up to my favourite teddy, going to sleep
I'm dreaming, dreaming of the city
When I′m asleep I think of cities, when I wake up I'm actually in the city

Overall Meaning

The song In the City by Pleasureville talks about the life of someone who lives in the city. The first verse of the song describes how the person wakes up and looks out of the window, seeing the city around them. They then go downstairs to get a bowl, but they realize they haven't washed it yet. They then leave their house, get into their car, and drive a short distance. The second verse of the song talks about the person being in a club, smoking drugs, and then walking home at 4 am with a kebab. They then trip over and faceplant on the pavement. The third verse of the song describes the person going to bed and dreaming about the city, ultimately realizing that they are actually in the city once they wake up.


The song speaks about the fast-paced lifestyle of urban areas and the behaviors that come along with it. The lyrics describe a rather hedonistic lifestyle with drugs, alcohol, and late nights. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "in the city," which emphasizes the fact that the person is constantly surrounded by the hustle and bustle of urban life. Furthermore, the jabbering sounds throughout the song add to the chaotic nature of the environment in which the person lives.
