Take a walk

In the warmth of the city

The summer nights heat

Coming up right through the street

You might think at first

This place aint pretty

But there’s something beautiful

about this damn gritty city

And all the folks that live here know

It’s not that lights are brightly shone

that make this place so fine

The hum of air conditioning

Does not seem like the type of thing

Romance has in mind

But people that live here know

It’s just the right kind

Take the time look around in the city

If you’re rushing way too fast

The pictures just wont last

You might think at first

This place aint so pretty

But there’s something beautiful

about this damn gritty city

And all the folks that live here know

It’s not that lights are brightly shone

that make this place so fine

The hum of air conditioning

Does not seem like the type of thing

Romance has in mind

But people that live here know

It’s just the right kind
