The Lovin' Spoonful, "Summer In The City"
Misheard Lyrics:
Hot damn! Summer in the city
back of my neck getting dirt and pretty.
Bend down, isn't it a pity
doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city.
All 'round people lookin' half-dead
walking on the sidewalk
haulin in a matress
back of my neck getting dirt and pretty.
Bend down, isn't it a pity
doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city.
All 'round people lookin' half-dead
walking on the sidewalk
haulin in a matress
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
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
