[Verse 1]
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there, the world below can't bother me

[Verse 2]
Let me tell you now, when I come home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustlin' crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street
On the roof's the only place I know
Whеre you just have to wish to make it so
Lеt's go up on the roof

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 3]
At night, the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
I keep-a tellin' you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
And if this world starts gettin' you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof (Up on the roof)
[Outro]
Up on the roof (Up on the roof)
Up on the roof (Up on the roof)
Come on, come on (Up on the roof)
Up on the roof (Up on the roof)
Up on the roof (Up on the roof)
