Lyrics Neil Sedaka – Hot And Sultry Nights

Man, you know it isn’t easy living here
It gets so heavy on these hot and sultry nights
Can’t even love your lover
Oh, I didn’t think it would be carnival

One sunny day they closed us down
Some men came round and burned the fields
The trade is gone, The town is dying
No one knows what to feel
Man, you know it isn’t easy living here
It gets so heavy on these hot and sultry nights
Can’t even love your lover
Oh, I didn’t think it would be carnival
I could use a cool occasional reprieve
On these hot and sultry nights
I hear a sad lamenting song
We’ve all grown old before our time
I watched them set the fields on fire
Crying till I was blind

Now those who could have moved away
Left only rags and bones behind
Nobody talks about tomorrows
Only hot and sultry nights

Chorus in Spanish
