ooh, well i got a girl with a record machine

when it comes to 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 twentiest floor uptown

the elevator's broken down



so i walked one, two flight, three flight, four

five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more

up on the twelfth i started to drag

fifteenth floor i'm a-ready to sag

get to the top, i'm too tired to rock



when she calls me up on the telephone

say, 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

but i couldn't stay away



well they sent to chicago for repairs

till it's a-fixed i'm a-usin' the stairs

hope they hurry up before it's too late

want my baby too much to wait

all this climbin' is a-gettin' me down

they'll find my corpse draped over a rail

but i climbed one, two flight, three flight four
