But I couldn't stay away
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Say, come on over honey, I'm all alone
This went on for a couple of days
Well, they sent to Chicago for repairs
Up on the twelfth I'm started to drag
Fifteenth floor, I'm a ready to sag
But I'm in bed with the achin' feet
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Up on the twelfth I'm started to drag
I want my baby too much to wait
All this climbin' is a gettin' me down
We love to dance on a Saturday night
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
All alone where I can hold her tight
Up on the twelfth I'm started to drag
So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Till it's a fixed I'm a usin' the stairs
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
Fifteenth floor, I'm a ready to sag
I said, baby you're mighty sweet
But I climbed one, two flight, three flight four
But she lives on the twentieth floor uptown
The elevator's broken down
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
When she calls me up on the telephone
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Fifteenth floor, I'm a ready to sag
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
