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;
(n.)
Stop,
(n.)
Check,
Turning double fast.
Chorus 2:
I'm looking for a lover, in the heart of the city.

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.
