Twenty Flight Rock
Cliff and the Shadows Lyrics

Ooh, well I got a girl with a record machine
I have a girl who owns a record player and enjoys listening to music

When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
She has great taste in music and is an expert at rocking out

We love to dance on a Saturday night
We enjoy dancing together on Saturday nights

All alone where I can hold her tight
We like to dance in private where I can hold her close

But she lives on the twentieth floor uptown
She lives in an apartment on the 20th floor uptown

The elevator's broken down
The elevator is not working

So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
I had to climb the stairs to get to her apartment

Five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
I kept climbing more and more flights of stairs

Up on the twelfth I started to drag
I started to feel tired by the time I reached the twelfth floor

Fifteenth floor I'm a-ready to sag
By the time I reached the fifteenth floor I was ready to collapse

Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
When I finally reached the top, I was too exhausted to dance

When she calls me up on the telephone
When she calls me on the phone

Say, come on over honey, I'm all alone
She invites me to come over because she is alone

I said, baby you're mighty sweet
I tell her she is very sweet

But I'm in bed with the achin' feet
I am in bed with sore feet from climbing so many stairs

This went on for a couple of days
This continued for a few days

But I couldn't stay away
I couldn't resist coming to see her despite the climb

Well they sent to Chicago for repairs
They sent to Chicago to get the elevator fixed

Till it's a-fixed I'm a-usin' the stairs
Until the elevator is fixed, I must use the stairs

Hope they hurry up before it's too late
I hope they fix the elevator soon before I get too tired of climbing

Want my baby too much to wait
I want to see my baby too much to wait for the elevator to be fixed

All this climbin' is a-gettin' me down
All this climbing is making me feel depressed

They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
I imagine they will find my body hanging over the banister after I collapse from climbing too much

But I climbed one, two flight, three flight four
But despite the exhaustion, I continue to climb the stairs to see my girl
