Help me ID this Song pls !

This song must be from the 70s

I got the tune in my head but i feel i have the lyrics wrong, hence my attempts to search for the lyrics have come up empty.

Here is what i think the lyrics are, hopefully they will jog someone's memory

"o baby get down
Come on down to the summer time sound
come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on
summer time city, aint got the summer time blues"

Summertime City? By Mike Batt & The New Edition???

http://members.aon.at/friedl/mbly/ly...mertime%20city



Summertime city

In the cool light of the dawn when the sky wakes and the sun shines on the boulevard,
In the town where I was born I am sitting thinking about you, wondering where you are.
Darling, I got the sun but when it shines I know I need you.

So baby get down (Get down, get down to the Summertime City.)
Come on down to the Summertime City.
Baby get down. (Get down, to the Summertime City.)
Come on down to the Summertime Sound.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
Kick off your shoes 'cos Summertime City, ain't got the summertime blues.

I was lying alone on the beach with the warm sound of the sea moving behind me.
But I knew you were out of reach and it seemed the sun was shining just to remind me.
Baby, without you, you know it might as well be raining.

So baby get down (Get down, get down to the Summertime City.)
Come on down to the Summertime City.
Baby get down. (Get down, to the Summertime City.)
Come on down to the Summertime Sound.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
Kick off your shoes 'cos Summertime City, ain't got the summertime blues.

Baby get down (Get down, get down to the Summertime City.)
Come on down to the Summertime City.
Baby get down. (Get down, to the Summertime City.)
Come on down to the Summertime Sound.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
Kick off your shoes 'cos Summertime City, ain't got the summertime blues.

Summertime City, ain't got the summertime blues.
Summertime City, ain't got the summertime blues.
Summertime City, ain't got the summertime blues.
Summertime City, ain't got the summertime blues.

In years gone by the hugely successful (often behind the scenes) Mike Batt penned a number of Brit Tv theme tunes and did some work for New Edition which I think was a made up ensemble just for that purpose.

He was also the genius behind both the Watership Down and the Womble music!
