Heart of the City

We're in the heart of the city

Where the alligator roam

I'm a little lost lamb

Ain't got no place to go

Now, I ain't got one penny

Just got a shirt on my back

I left home in a hurry

And I ain't never goin' back

I'm lookin' for a home in the heart of the city

Now I'm a steppin' on the street

And I'm a steppin' off the end

And I'm lookin' for a lover

A-lookin', lookin' everywhere

Maybe I'm in with a chance

I hear a clickety-clack

It'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', lookin' everywhere

In the heart of the city

We're in the heart of the city

We're in a part of the stars

I hear the crash of music

From a thousand guitars

And the boys are on the prowl

Oh, they're checkin' the beat

They know a bird in the hand

Is worth two on the street

They're checkin' on neat in the heart of the city

I said the heart, heart

Of the city

Heart, heart, oh yeah

Heart, heart

Of the city

Heart, heart

Say it now

Heart, heart
