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