When this old world starts getting me down   And people are much too much for me face   I climb way up to the top of the stairs   And all my cares just fade right into space      On the roof   It's peaceful as can be   And there the world below   Can't bother me      Keep a-telling you    Right slap, dab in the middle of town   I've found a paradise that's trouble-free   Yes, I have now   When this world starts getting you down   There's room enough for two    Up on the roof   Up on the roof      Everything is all right   Up on the roof   Oh, come on baby   Up on the roof   Oh, yeah   Yeah, yeah   Up on the roof
