Summer in the City
Quincy Jones (AKA: Les nuits - Nightmares on Wax) Lyrics

Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
I will run fast and hard, up many stairs, to see you on the rooftop, until I am out of breath and panting loudly like a bus stop.

Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
I will climb the stairs with speed and purpose, eager to see you on the rooftop.

But at night it's a different world
When the sun goes down, the city transforms into a different place, with different sights and sounds.

Go out and find a girl
Take advantage of the summer nights and go find a girl to have fun with.

Come-on come-on and dance all night
Let's dance without a care in the world and enjoy the night as long as we can.

Despite the heat, it'll be alright
Even though the summer heat can be oppressive, we will still have a good time.

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
It is unfortunate that the days cannot be as carefree and enjoyable as the summer nights.

That the days can't be like the nights
The days do not have the same lively and carefree atmosphere that the summer nights have.

In the summer, in the city
This excitement and energy can only be found during the summer and specifically, in the city.

In the summer, in the city
The summer nights in the city are a unique and unforgettable experience.
