When this old world
Starts a getting me down
And people are just too much
For me to face
I'll 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
Don't bother me
No, no
So when I come home
Feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air
Is fresh and sweet
I'll get far away
From the hustling crowd
And all that rat race noise
Down in the street
On the roof
That's the only place I know
Look at the city, baby
Where you just have to wish
To make it so
Let's go up on the roof
And at night the stars
They put on a show for free
And darling,
You can share it all with me
That's what I say
Keep on telling you
That right smack dab
In the middle of town
I've found a paradise
That's trouble proof
And if this old world
Starts a getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
Oh now
Everything is alright
Everything is alright
Come on
Drop what you're doing tonight
And climb up the stairs with me and see
We got the stars above
And the city lights below
Oh woo woh ooh
Up on a roof now
