A
I've got a girl with a record machine
D
When it comes to rockin', she's a queen
A
We love to dance on a Saturday night
All alone where I can hold her tight
E7
But she lives on 20th floor uptown
A
And the elevator has broken down
A D A E7 A

Chorus :
A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A
15th floor I'm ready to drag
E7 D A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
A
She called me up on the telephone
D
Said: "Come over, baby. I'm all alone."
A
I said: "Sorry, baby. You're mighty sweet,
but I'm in bed achin' feet."
E7
This went for a couple of days
A
But I could not stay away
Chorus :
A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four
D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A
15th floor I'm ready to drag
E7 D A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

A
They sent it to Chicago for repairs
D
'Til it's fixed I'm usin' the stairs
A
I have to get there before it's too late
My baby couldn't bear much to wait
E7
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
A
You'll find my corpse draped over a rail
Chorus :
A
But I fly one, two flight, three flight four
D
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
At 12th I'm startin' to sag
A
15th floor I'm ready to drag
E7 D A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
