The Kinks - Too Hot lyrics
[The Kinks - Too Hot lyrics]
Everybody's working out at the gymnasium
Pumping iron, getting fit, ready to compete
Everybody working on their own body heat
Everybody hustling out on the street
Julian is out there looking at locations
Arthur's on the picket line
Winding up the nation
Sara Jane's working on her way to a degree
But back in the gymnasium
They're working out and body popping
It's gotta stop because it's getting too hot
Cool it down, 'cause it's getting too hot
It's getting crazy, going over the top
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
All the kids are working out
They're on their way to fame
Arthur's on the warpath, here he comes again
The city's like a sauna bath
Stinks like a drain
They're pumping up the nation but
It's gonna bust a vein
Tourists everywhere, blocking up the streets
My ice cream cone just melted in the heat
And while I do my best to
Stop my raspberry from slopping
Back in the gymnasium
They're working out and body popping
It's gotta stop because it's getting too hot
Cool it down, 'cause it's getting too hot
It's getting crazy, going over the top
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
It's too hot, gotta cool it down
It's too hot, turn the heating down
It's too hot, the temperature is up
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
The city lights start shining at
The end of the day
Taking the place of the big red
Sun as it slowly sets
Meanwhile back in commuter city
Another kid's packing her bags
And running away
To a city that is really too hot
It's Piccadilly and it's really too hot
Too hot, too hot, too hot
Arthur's working out
Now he's really got the muscle
Julian's over budget
Now he's really got to hustle
And Sara Jane's living on bag take-aways
And working as a stripper
On the school holidays
Sleazy town, gets me down
Want some peace and quiet
The police are everywhere like there's
Gonna be a riot back in the gymnasium
They're training for a war
Think of all the fun we had in 1984
It's gotta stop because it's getting too hot
Cool it down, 'cause it's getting too hot
It's getting crazy, going over the top
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
It's too hot, gotta cool it down
It's too hot, turn the heating down
It's too hot, the temperature is up
It's too hot, it's too hot it's too hot
It's too hot too hot
It's too hot it's too hot
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
Pumping iron, getting fit, ready to compete
Everybody working on their own body heat
Everybody hustling out on the street
Julian is out there looking at locations
Arthur's on the picket line
Winding up the nation
Sara Jane's working on her way to a degree
But back in the gymnasium
They're working out and body popping
It's gotta stop because it's getting too hot
Cool it down, 'cause it's getting too hot
It's getting crazy, going over the top
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
All the kids are working out
They're on their way to fame
Arthur's on the warpath, here he comes again
The city's like a sauna bath
Stinks like a drain
They're pumping up the nation but
It's gonna bust a vein
Tourists everywhere, blocking up the streets
My ice cream cone just melted in the heat
And while I do my best to
Stop my raspberry from slopping
Back in the gymnasium
They're working out and body popping
It's gotta stop because it's getting too hot
Cool it down, 'cause it's getting too hot
It's getting crazy, going over the top
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
It's too hot, gotta cool it down
It's too hot, turn the heating down
It's too hot, the temperature is up
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot

It's too hot, it's too hot it's too hot
It's too hot too hot
It's too hot it's too hot
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot
It's too hot
