Verse 1
I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin, she's a queen
A (mute)
We love to dance on a Saturday night
N.C.
All alone where I can hold her tight
But she lives on 20th floor uptown
A (mute)
And the elevator has broken down
During the verses the riff goes like this:

Verse 2
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag
15th floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Verse 3
She called me up on the telephone
Said: "Come over, baby. I'm all alone."
A (mute)
I said: "Sorry, baby. You're mighty sweet,
N.C.
but I'm in bed achin' feet."
This went for a couple of days
A (mute)
But I could not stay away
Verse 4
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag
15th floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Instrumental
Verse 5
They sent it to Chicago for repairs
'Til it's fixed I'm usin' the stairs
I have to get there before it's to late
N.C.
My baby couldn't bear much to wait
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
A (mute)
You'll find my corpse draped over a rail
Verse 6
But I fly one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag
15th floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
