WHEN THIS OL' 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 BEAT
I'LL GO UP
WHERE THE AIR
IS FRESH AND SWEET
I'LL GET FAR AWAY
FROM THE HUSTLIN'
CROWD
AND ALL THAT
RAT RACE NOISE
DOWN IN THE STREET
ON THE 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
6 BAR
BREAK
AND 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'VE FOUND A PARADISE
THAT'S TROUBLE PROOF
AND IF THIS OLD WORLD
STARTS 'A GETTING
YOU DOWN
THERE'S ROOM ENOUGH
FOR TWO
UP ON A ROOF
UP ON A ROOF OOF
UP ON A ROOF OOH OOF
OH OH OH NOW
EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT
EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT
COME ON
4 BAR
BREAK
QUIT YOUR DOIN'
TONIGHT
AND CLIMB UP
THE STAIRS WITH ME
AND SEE
WE GOT THE STARS
ABOVE
AND THE CITY LIGHTS
BELOW
OH OOH WHOA OOH
OH OH OH
UP ON A ROOF NOW
