Well I got a gal with a record machine When it comes to rockin' she's a queen We love to dance on Saturday night All alone when I can 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 startin' to drag Fifteen floor I'm a ready to sag Get to the top I'm too tired to rock
When she called me up on the telephone She said come on over honey I'm all alone I said "Betty you're mighty sweet But I'm in bed with achin' feet" This went on for a couple of days But I couldn't stay away So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag Fifteen floor I'm a ready to sag Get to the top I'm too tired to rock
Well they sent to Chicago for repairs Till it's fixed I'm using the stairs Hope they hurry before it's too late Want my baby too much to wait All this climbin' is a gettin' me down You'll find my corpse draped over a rail So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag Fifteen floor I'm a ready to sag Get to the top I'm too tired to rock
