Ooh, I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rocking she's the queen
We love to dance on a Saturday night
All alone where I can hold her tight
Well, she lives on the twentieth floor up town
The elevator's broken down

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

Called my baby on the telephone
Shе said, "C'mon over, honey, I'm all alone"
I said, "Hеy, baby, you're mighty sweet"
But I'm in bed with aching feet
Well, this went on for a couple of days
And then I couldn't stay away

So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth and I'm ready to drag
Fifteenth floor and I'm starting to sag
Get to the top and I'm too tired to rock
Well, I crossed Chicago for repairs
Till it's fixed, I'm using the stairs
Hope they hurry before it's too late
I like my baby too much to wait
All this climbing is getting me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail

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