Well, 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

well, I ain't never goin' back

I'm lookin' for a home

in the heart of the city

Now, I'm steppin'

on the street

and I'm sniffin' up the air

yeah, I'm lookin' for a lover

a-lookin', lookin'

everywhere

Maybe I'm in with a chance

I hear 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

Well, in the heart of the city

well, it's part of the stars

I hear the cassette music

from a thousand guitars

Hey, the boys

are on the prowl

Oh, they're checkin' on meat

They know a bird in the hand

is worth two on the street

they're checkin' on meat

in the heart of the city

I said the heart, heart

of the city

heart, heart, Ooh yeah

heart, heart of the city

heart, heart
