Oh oh oh
Ohhh
Out in the heat little child
On the streets runnin' wild
Barely ten
Got a gun
So now he thinks that he's a man
Yes he does
Teenage girl out to steal
Cos her baby is in need of a meal
Tryin' to cope as best she can
In the high sunshine low on hope yeah
Well there it is
Oh summer in the city
Ohhh
Tryin' to make sense of a world
Gone crazy
D**u du d**u du
One hundred and risin'
D**u du d**u du
So the tale is told
D**u du d**u du
One hundred and risin'
D**u du d**u du
Old man sitting in the shade
Won't take part in the charade
He may be old but he ain't a foo
He has seen how dreams are bought and sold
On every corner a steady stream
To buy a thrill a piper's dream
While the heat takes it's toll
It's just another day on a city street
Oh
Well there it is
Oh summer in the city
Tryin' to make sense of a world
Gone crazy
D**u du d**u du
One hundred and risin'
D**u du d**u du
So the tale is told
D**u du d**u du
One hundred and risin'
D**u du d**u du
You got to do the best you can to get by
In the high sunshine
D**u du d**u du
One hundred and risin'
D**u du d**u du
So the tale is told yeah
D**u du d**u du
One hundred and risin'
D**u du d**u du
Summer madness will unfold
D**u du d**u du
D**u du d**u du
D**u du d**u du
D**u du d**u du
D**u du d**u du
One hundred and risin'
D**u du d**u du
