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.
