There's been some hard feelings here About some words that were said Been some hard feelings here and what is more
There's been a bloody purple nose And some bloody purple clothes That were messing up the lobby floor
It's just apartment house rules so all you 'partment fools Remember one man's ceiling is another man's floor One man's ceiling is another man's floor
There's been some strange goin's on And some folks have come and gone Like the elevator man don't work no more
I heard a racket in the hall and I thought I heard a call But I never opened up my door It's just apartment house sense
It's like apartment rents Remember one man's ceiling is another man's floor I'll tell you One man's ceiling is another man's floor
There's an alley in the back of my building Where some people congregate in shame I was walking with my dogs And the night was black with smog When I thought I heard somebody call my name
Remember one man's ceiling is another man's floor, goddamn One man's ceiling is another man's floor
