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