[dog days] summer in the city

Loving Spoonful's summer in the city

Back of my neck getting awfully gritty

Choking heat - really not so pretty

Can't seem to reach the forest it's a pity

So tonight a different scene

Forget the girl I know it's mean

Curse the blistering day it's been

Never mind the supper

Sipping cuppa after cuppa . . .

Forecast - just won't bring the heat down

All the car and truck fumes - ain't nowt but to sit down

Cool change - a dream that just can't be found

Doesn't seem to be a shadow on the baked ground

Toss and turn the whole night through

Dreams of winter things to do

Turn the lights down - mosquitoes too

Waiting for the first snow

Only have to lie low . . .
