Lyrics
IN THE CITY
VERSE 1
It's Saturday
The night's begun to fall
And the summer rain's
Washed the windows and the walls
PRE-CHORUS
And I, I'm so pleased
We're all living here
In the city
Feels so good to be
Living here
CHORUS
In the city
In the city
VERSE 2
I speed through busy streets
I'm weaving in and out
Pull in to park my jeep
A couple streets down
Oh I step along a path
I'm feelin' just a tad on edge
The sounds of Luna Park
Are flashin' at me
From up ahead
PRE-CHORUS
And I, I'm so pleased
We're all living here
In the city
Feels so good to be
Living here
CHORUS
In the city
In the city
BRIDGE
Shootin' cans and fairy floss
Ticket box, I'll pay the cost for fun
Dodgem cars, ferris wheel
The carnie calls his spiel, "Roll on up!"
Whoa-ho!
Fasten for this ride
Cause you can change gears and fly
You can fly
OUTRO
Ooh-ooh, in the city
Ooh-ooh, in the city
Ooh-ooh
In the city [Repeat to End]
