When this old world starts a getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I'm gonna 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 go up where the air is fresh and sweet I 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 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 The right smack dab in the middle of town I've found a paradise Just about 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 up above us and the city lights below Oh Up on my roof now
