Well I got a girl with a record machine,
When it comes to rocking she’s a queen
I took her to a dance on a saturday night,
All alone where I can hold her tight
She lives on the twentieth floor uptown
The elevator’s broken down

And I walk one, two flight, three flight four,
Five six seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I’m starting to sag,
Fifteenth floor I’m ready to drag
I get to the top and I’m too tired to rock

You know she called me up on the telephone,
Said come on ever baby ’cause I’m all alone
I said baby you’re mighty sweet,
But I’m in bed with aching feet
This went on for a couple of days,
But I couldn’t stay away

And I walk one, two flight, three flight four,
Five six seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I’m starting to sag,
Fifteenth floor I’m ready to drag
I get to the top and I’m too tired to rock

Well I sent to chicago for repairs,
Till it’s fixed I’m using the stairs
I hope they hurry, before it’s too late,
I want my baby too much to wait
All this climbing is getting me down,
They’ll find me hanging over the rail

And I walk one, two flight, three flight four,
Five six seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I’m starting to sag,
Fifteenth floor I’m ready to drag
I get to the top and I’m too tired to rock

And I walk one, two flight, three flight four,
Five six seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I’m starting to sag,
Fifteenth floor I’m ready to drag,
I get to the top and I’m too tired to rock
