Lyrics:

Cochran-Fairchild

Uh well I got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rocking, she's a queen
I took her to a dance on a Saturday night
All alone where I can hold her tight
She lives on the twentieth floor uptown
The elevator's broken down.

So I walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five six seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
I get to the top and I'm too tired to rock.

Well she called me up on the telephone
Said : 'Come on ever baby 'cause I'm all alone'
I said : 'Baby you're mighty sweet'
'But I'm in bed with aching feet'
This went on for a couple of days
But I couldn't stay away.

Oh I walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five six seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
I get to the top and I'm too tired to rock
You know I'm too tired babe.

Well I sent to Chicago for repairs
Till it's fixed I'm using the stairs
I hope they hurry before it's too late
You know I love my baby too much to wait
All this climbing is getting me down
They'll find me come straight over the rail.

And I walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five six seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
I get to the top and I'm too tired to rock, ooh.

Well I got a gal with a record machine
When it comes to rocking, you know she's a queen
I took her to a dance on a Saturday night
All alone where I can hold her tight
She lives on the twentieth floor uptown
The elevator's broken down.

Well I walk one, two flight, three flight four
Five six seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
I get to the top and I'm too tired to rock.
