Oh I got a girl
with a record machine
When it comes
to rockin'
she's the queen
We go to a dance
on a Saturday night
I'm all alone and
I hold her tight
But she lives on the
twentieth floor uptown
The elevator's
broken down
So I walk one,
two flight, three
flight four
Five, six,
seven flight,
eight flight more
Up on the twelfth
I'm starting
to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm
ready to sag
Get to the top,
I'm too tired
to rock
Well she called
me up on
the telephone
Said "Come on over
honey, I'm all alone"
I said "Baby, you're
mighty sweet
But I'm in bed with
a-achin' feet"
This went on for
a couple of days
But I could not
stay away
So I walk one,
two flight, three
flight four
Five, six,
seven flight,
eight flight more
Up on the twelfth
I'm starting
to drag
fifteenth floor I'm
ready to sag
Get to the top,
I'm too tired
to rock
Yeah, we sent to
Chicago for repairs
Till it's a-fixed I'm
using the stairs
I hope they hurry
before it's
too late
I love my baby
too much to wait
All this climbing is
gettin' me down
They'll find my
corpse draped
over the rail
So I walk one,
two flight, three
flight four
Five, six,
seven flight,
eight flight more
Up on the twelfth
I'm starting
to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm
ready to sag
Get to the top,
I'm too tired
to rock
