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's the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go 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-tellin' you, right smack dab in the middle of town

I found a paradise that's trouble proof (Up on the roof)

And if this world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two up on the roof (Up on the roof)



Up on the roof (Up on the roof)

Oh, come on, baby (Up, up on the roof)

Oh, come on, darling (Up on the roof)

Up on the roof (Up, up on the roof)



Oh, come on, baby (Up on the roof)

Let's go up on the roof (Up, up on the roof)

Oh, come on, darling (Up on the roof)

(Up, up on the roof)



(Up on the roof)

(Up, up on the roof)

(Up on the roof)

(Up, up on the roof)
