When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
(Up on the roof)

I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
(Up on the roof)

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 feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
(Up on the roof)

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 got to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof
(Up on the roof)

Don't know much about history
Don't know much of biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I do know if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much of trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for

But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now I don't claim to be an 'A' student
But I'm trying to be
For maybe by being an 'A' student, baby
You'll give your love to me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much of biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I do know if love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
What a wonderful world this would be
