lyrics

well I've got a girl with a record machine
when it comes to a-rockin' she's the queen
we love to dance on a Saturday night
all alone where I can hold her tight
but she lives on the twentieth floor uptown
the elevator's broken down
so I'll walk one, two flight, three flight, four
five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag
fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag
get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

well she calls 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 the achin' feet
this went on for a couple of days
I could not stay away
so I'll walk one, two flight, three flight, four
five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag
fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag
get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

well, they sent it to Chicago for repairs
till it's fixed I'm a-usin' the stairs
hope to get there before it's too late
i love my baby too much to wait
all this climbin' is gettin' me down
you''ll find my corpse draped over a rail
but I'll climb one, two flight, three flight, four
five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag
fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag
get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
