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

Can bother me

Let me tell you now

When I come home

Feeling tired and beat

I'll go Up where

The air is fresh and sweet

Up on the roof) yeoh baby

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

Oh 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) yeoh baby

And if so 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

Everything is all right

Up on the roof)

Up on the roof)

So come on come on

Baby let's go

Up on the roof)

Up on the roof)

City lies belong stats bring

So let's go

Up on the roof
