Lyrics:

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to take
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof

When I get home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from that hustling crowd
And all that ratrace noise down in the street
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me


I keep tellin' you that right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
And if this old world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Up on the roof
