Verse 1

 In the heart of the city,

 Where the alligators roam,

 I'm a little lost when,

 Ain't got no place to go.

 Now I ain't got one minute,

 Just gotta sit on my back,

 I left home in a hurry,

 'Till I'm never going back.

Chorus 1

 I'm looking for a home, in the heart of the city.

Interlude

Verse 2

 Now I'm stepping on the street,

 And I'm stepping up the hill,

 And I'm looking for a lover,

 Looking, looking everywhere.

 Maybe I'm in with a chance?

 I hear clickety clack.

 It's a girl my lord, I see her;

Stop,

Check,

 Turning double fast.

Chorus 2

 I'm looking for a lover, in the heart of the city.

Interlude

Chorus 3

 I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking,

I'm looking, looking, looking, looking,

 Looking everywhere, in the heart of the city.

Interlude

Verse 3

 Well, in the heart of the city,

 Well, it's part of the stars.

 I hear that cassette music,

 On a thousand guitars.

 Hey, the boys are on the prowl,

 They're checking out meat.

 They know a bird in the hand,

 Is worth two on the street.

Chorus 4

 They're checking the meat, in the heart of the city.

Interlude

Well, I said;

Coda

 The heart, heart, of the city,

Heart, heart, oh yeah.

Heart, heart, of the city,

Heart, heart, oh yeah.
