Twenty Flight Rock
Well I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rocking, she's the queen
We go to dance on Saturday night
I'm all alone and I hold her tight
But she live on the 20th floor in town
The elevator's broken down
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the 12th I'm starting to sag
15th floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Well she called me up on the telephone
Said Come on over, baby, I'm all alone
I said Baby, you're mighty sweet
But I'm in bed with the aching feet
This went on for a couple of days
But I could not stay away
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the 12th I'm starting to sag
15th floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Yeah, it's sent to Chicago for repairs
Til it's fixed I'm using the stairs
I love my baby, want to see your face
I love my baby too much to wait
All this climbing is getting me down
They'll find my coat's draped over her rail
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the 12th I'm starting to sag
15th floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too
