Twenty Flight Rock
Wailin' Elroys Lyrics

1, 2, a 1, 2, 3, 4
Counting to start the song.

Oh, I've got a girl with a record machine
The singer has a girlfriend who owns a record player.

When it comes to rockin' she's a queen
The singer's girlfriend is great at dancing to rock music.

Love to dance on a Saturday night
The girlfriend enjoys dancing on Saturday nights.

All alone, I can hold her tight
When they're alone, the singer can hold his girlfriend tightly.

But she lives on a twentieth floor up town
The girlfriend lives on the twentieth floor of a building in the city.

The elevator's broken down
Unluckily, the elevator is not working.

So I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four
The singer starts to climb the stairs to reach his girlfriend's apartment.

Five, six, seven flight, about eight flight more
The singer climbs a lot of stairs, becoming tired.

On the twelfth I started to drag
By the twelfth floor, the singer starts to feel tired and slow.

By the fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
By the fifteenth floor, the singer feels like he is going to collapse due to exhaustion.

Get to the top, But I'm too tired to rock
When he finally arrives on the twentieth floor, he is too tired to dance and have fun with his girlfriend.

She called me up on the telephone
His girlfriend calls him on the phone.

She said c'mon over, Cause I'm all alone
His girlfriend wants him to come over because she's alone.

I said baby, you're mighty sweet
The singer compliments his girlfriend for her sweetness.

But I'm in the bed with a-achin' feet
The singer is already in bed and his feet are sore from climbing the stairs earlier.

This went on for a couple of days
This situation of the singer not being able to visit his girlfriend goes on for a few days.

(But I) But I couldn't stay away
The singer misses his girlfriend and can't resist visiting her.

So I claimed two, three, four
The singer starts climbing the stairs again to visit his girlfriend.

Five, six, seven flight, about eight flight more
He continues to climb many more flights of stairs.

On the twelfth I'm starting to drag
By the twelfth floor again, the singer starts to feel tired and slow once more.

By the fifteenth floor I ready to sag
The singer is almost too tired to continue climbing.

Get to the top, But I'm too tired to rock
The singer finally reaches his girlfriend's apartment, but still has no energy to dance with her and have fun.

Sent to Glasgow for repairs
The elevator has been taken away for repairs.

'Till it's fixed I'm using the stairs
The singer has to keep climbing the stairs until the elevator is repaired.

I hope they hurry up before it's too late
The singer hopes that the elevator is fixed soon before he is too tired to climb the stairs anymore.

Because I don't want my baby too much to wait
The singer wants to see his girlfriend as soon as possible so she doesn't have to wait for him.

All this climbin' is gettin' me down
The continuous climbing is starting to affect the singer's mood and energy level.

You'll find my corpse draped over the rail
If he keeps climbing the stairs, he feels like he will die and his body will be found hanging over the rail of the stairs.

But I climbed two, three, four
The singer still has to climb the stairs to reach his girlfriend's apartment.

Five, six, seven flight, about eight flight more
He continues to climb many more flights of stairs.

On the twelfth I'm starting to drag
By the twelfth floor again, the singer starts to feel tired and slow once more.

By the fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
The singer is almost too tired to continue climbing.

Get to the top, But I'm too tired
The singer finally reaches his girlfriend's apartment, but still has no energy to dance with her and have fun.

Get to the top, but I'm too tired
The singer repeats his previous line to emphasize how exhausted he feels.

Get to the top, but I'm too tired to rock
Even though he has finally reached the top, the singer still can't dance and have fun with his girlfriend because he is too tired.
