When this old world starts a'getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I'll 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'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet now
I'll 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 that I know
Look at the city baby
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Lets 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 said
Keep on telling you that
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
And if this old world starts a'getting you down
Well there's room enough for two up on a roof
Up on a roof
Up on a roof
Up on a roof, oh
Everything is all right
Everything is all right
Come on
Quit what you're doing tonight
And climb up the stairs and then you'll see me
We got the stars up above and the city lights below
Oh oh oh
Up on a roof
