Right smack dab in the middle of town
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
When I get home feeling tired and beat
Up on the roof
Let's go, I keep a telling you
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet, up on the roof
Up on the roof, come on, baby
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, the only place I know
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
There's room enough for two up on the roof
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
And if this world starts getting you down
At night the stars put on a show for free
Darling, you can share it all with me
Where you just have to wish to make it snow
Come on, baby up on the roof
I get away from the hustling crowd
