Ah, the summer wind

To the tune of "Summer Nights" from Grease...

Summer city, days of steam heat

Summer city, the crowds are a treat

See the street packed as can be,

See the curb, a fresh pond of pee

Summer days, blazing away

to ah-oh those summer plights

Tell me more, tell me more

Did your train run today?

Tell me more, tell me more

No, just ask Amtrak or the MTA

Port Authority, on line to pee

Someone barks, it's NYPD

Fists are pounding on the next stall

Yells of Bellevue, the thrill of it all

Summer sun, oh ain't it fun

then ah-oh those summer plights

Tell me more, tell me more

Did your subway derail?

Tell me more, tell me more

No, it just moved like a snail

Took a ferry to take in the view

It missed the dock, I lost a shoe

Tried a bus but the AC just died

Got off later, schvitzing and fried

Summer city can be so pretty

but ah-oh those summer plights

Tell me more, tell me more

Did you make it to work?

Tell me more, tell me more

Yeah, but late my Uber driver's a jerk

Some guy is friendly waving his hand

Starts screaming the world is ending, we're damned

No one notices they're glued to their phones

Penn is closed, everyone groans

Summer city, life  can be gritty

but oh-ah those summer plights

Tell me more, tell me more

is the tunnel backed up?

Tell me more, tell me more

if you ask you're a schmuck

People wonder, when will this end

Cars are crawling from end to end

Then they make a sacred vow

Next year in Florida, if budgets allow

Summer city, love it, ain't it a pity

but oh, those summer plights
