In the night a new day dawning
 And the first birds start to sing
 In the pale light of the morning
 Nothing's worth remembering
 It's a dream, it's out of reach
 Scattered driftwood on the beach

 Summer night city...
 Summer night city...

 Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
 Summer night city
 Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
 Summer night city

 In the sun I feel like sleeping
 I can't take it for too long
 My impatience slowly creeping
 Up my spine and growing strong
 I know what's waiting there for me
 Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free
 Aa-ahhh

 When the [bad word] with the action
 I just know it's time to go
 Can't resist the strange attraction
 From that giant dynamo
 Lots to take and lots to give
 Time to breathe and time to live

 Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
 Summer night city
 Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
 Summer night city

 It's elusive call it glitter
 Somehow something turns me on
 Some folks only see the litter
 We don't miss them when they're gone
 I love the feeling in the air
 My kind of people everywhere

 When the [bad word] with the action
 I just know it's time to go
 Can't resist the strange attraction
 From that giant dynamo
 And tomorrow, when the dawning
 And the first birds start to sing
 In the pale light of the morning
 Nothing's worth remembering
 It's a dream, it's out of reach
 Scattered driftwood on the beach

 Waiting for the sunrise, soul dancing in the dark
 Summer night city
 Walking in the moonlight, love-making in a park
 Summer night city
