Love In The Hot Afternoon lyrics

From somewhere outside,

I hear a street vendor cry "filet gumbo"

From my window I see him, going

Down the street and he don't know

That we fell right to sleep

In the damp tangled sheets so soon

After love in the hot afternoon.

Chorus:

Now this bourbon street lady

Sleeps like a baby in the shadows

He was new to me, full of mystery

But now I know that he's just a guy,

And I'm just a girl in a room

Making love in the hot afternoon.

We met in the park this morning

And we sat, without talking

Then we came back here,

In the heat of the day, tired of walking

Where under his breath,

He hummed to himself a tune

About love in the hot afternoon

Repeat Chorus
