When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to take

I climb right up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof's the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Up on the roof



When I get home feeling tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet

I get away from that hustling crowd

And all that ratrace noise down in the street

At night the stars put on a show for free

And darling you can share it all with me





I keep tellin' you that right smack dab in the middle of town

I found a paradise that's trouble-proof

And if this old world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two up on the roof

Up on the roof

Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof

Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof

Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof

Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof

Up on the roof
