1st floor decide what you`ll be one day With a head full of comment and nothing to say 2nd floor mixed up it happens that way Soon you realize that listening don`t pay 3rd floor in limbo, no easy moves Up or down it`s time to choose
(chorus)
The elevators going up Quick the door`s about to shut Too late we`re full just hang around It won`t be long - it won`t be long before it`s down
4th floor the job hunt and all that you ask Is an honest day`s pay for an honest day`s graft 5th floor you may make a little more money Now it`s apparent downstairs ain`t so fuuny 6th floor a mortgage, a collar and tie 2 weeks vacation in june or july
(chorus)
The elevators going up Quick the door`s about to shut ....
7th floor expenses and private schools Pushing a pen you`re not turning the tools 8th floor position, respect and acclaim Move up the 9th for fortune or fame 10th floor for investment and real estate Recouping the redies before it`s tool late 11th floor the penthouse the final cut With a head full of comment and a mouth that stays shut
(chorus)
The elevators going up Quick the door`s about to shut ....
