Up on the Roof

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

Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)

I get away from the hustling crowd

And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)

On the roof, the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

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've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)

And if this world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two

Up on the roof (up on the roof)

Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)

Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)

Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)

[FADE]

Everything is all right (up on the roof)
