Well i got a girl with a record machine,
when it comes to rocking she's a queen.
i took her to a dance on a saturday night,
all alone where i can hold her tight.
she lives on the twentieth floor uptown.
the elevator's broken down.
And i walk one, two flight, three flight four,
five six seven flight, eight flight more.
up on the twelfth i'm starting to sag,
fifteenth floor i'm ready to drag.
i get to the top and i'm too tired to rock.
You know she called me up on the telephone,
said come on ever baby 'cause i'm all alone.
i said baby you're mighty sweet,
but i'm in bed with aching feet.
this went on for a couple of days,
but i couldn't stay away.
And i walk one, two flight, three flight four,
five six seven flight, eight flight more.
up on the twelfth i'm starting to sag,
fifteenth floor i'm ready to drag.
i get to the top and i'm too tired to rock.
Well i sent to chicago for repairs,
till it's fixed i'm using the stairs.
i hope they hurry, before it's too late,
i want my baby too much to wait.
all this climbing is getting me down,
they'll find me hanging over the rail.
And i walk one, two flight, three flight four,
five six seven flight, eight flight more.
up on the twelfth i'm starting to sag,
fifteenth floor i'm ready to drag.
i get to the top and i'm too tired to rock.
And i walk one, two flight, three flight four,
five six seven flight, eight flight more.
up on the twelfth i'm starting to sag,
fifteenth floor i'm ready to drag,
i get to the top and i'm too tired to rock.
