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 feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet.
I get away from the hustling crowds,
And all that rat race noise down in the street.
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so.
Oh, let's go 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 found a Paradise that's trouble-proof.
So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof.
Up on the roof.
Up on the roof.
Oh, come on, baby
Up on the roof.
Everything is all right
Up on the roof.
