OLD 97'S
"Wintertime In The City"
(Ken Bethea / Murry Hammond / Rhett Miller / Philip Peeples)

Ooh, it's almost here
Your favorite time of the year
When your family all draws near
Such a lovely sight to see
It's wintertime in the city

Shoppers hurry around
With the gifts that they found
Snow covers the ground
Faces all lit up with glee
It's wintertime in the city

[Chorus:]
Buildings rise up
Life your eyes up
To see
The lights on the tree
It's wintertime in the city

Ooh, and the handsome [cat?]
And the friendly chaps
While the family laughs
And there's no place you'd rather be
'Cause it's wintertime in the city

[Chorus:]
Buildings rise up
Life your eyes up
To see
The lights on the tree
It's wintertime in the city

[Chorus:]
Buildings rise up
Life your eyes up
To see
The lights on the tree
It's wintertime in the city

Ooh, it's almost here
Your favorite time of the year
When your family all draws near
Such a lovely sight to see
It's wintertime in the city
