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 in to 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

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-telling you

Right smack down in the middle of town

I found a paradise that`s trouble proof

And if this world starts getting you down

There`s room enough for two up on the roof

Up on the roof

Oh come on baby

Come on darling

Up on the roof

Don't be shy
