We're in the heart of the city Where the alligator roams I'm a little lost lamb Ain't got no place to go I ain't got one penny Just got a shirt on my back I left home in a hurry I ain't never goin' back I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city Well I'm a standin' on the street And I'm a steppin' off the end Yeah I'm lookin' for a lover Lookin' lookin' everywhere Maybe I'm in with a chance I hear a clickety clack There's a girl my Lord I see her stop, check, turn and double back I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin' everywhere In the heart of the city We're in the heart of the city We're in the heart of the stars I hear the crash of music And a thousand guitars And the boys are on the prowl And they're checkin' on me They know a bird up in the hand Is worth two out on the streets Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city [Repeats] Heart heart of the city Heart heart oh yeah Heart heart of the city Heart heart oh yeah
