Ooh, well, I got a gal 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
But she lives on the twentieth floor uptown
The elevator's broken down

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

Well, she calls me up on the telephone
Say, come on over, honey, 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

So I'll walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
Up on the twelfth floor, I'm starting to drag
Fifteenth floor, I'm a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Well, they sent it to Chicago for repairs
Till it's fixed, I'm a-using the stairs
Hope they hurry before it's too late
Don't want my baby too much to wait
All this climbing is getting me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail

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

Ooh, I got a gal 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
She lives on the twentieth floor uptown
The elevator's broken down
