When this old world
starts a-gettin' me down
And people are just too much
for me to face
I'll climb way up
to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift
right into space
On the roof
It's peaceful as can be
And there the world below
don't bother me no no oh
So when I come home
feelin' tired and weak
I'll go up where the air
is fresh and sweet
I'll get far away
from that hustlin' crowd
And all that rat-race noise
down in the street
On a roof
That's the only place I know
Look at the city baby
Where you just have to wish
to make it so
Let's go up on the roof
At night the stars
They put on a show for free
And darlin'
You can share it all with me
That's what I said
Keep on tellin' you
That right smack dab
in the middle of town
I found a paradise
that's trouble proof
If this ol' world
starts a-gettin' you down
There's room enough for two
up on the roof
Up on the roof
Babe
Up on the roof
Yeah
Everything is alright
Everything is alright
Come on
Look what you're doin' tonight
And climb up the stairs
with me and see
And we got the stars above
And the city lights below
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Up on the roof now
