Up On The Roof
Drifters


(Up On The Roof)
(Up On The Roof)
When this
Old world
Starts getting me down
And people are just
Too much
For me to face
(Up On The Roof)
I climb way up
To the top of the stairs
And all my cares
Just drift
Right into space
(Up On The Roof)
On the roof
It's peaceful
As can be
And there the world
Below
Can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home
Feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air
Is fresh and sweet
(Up on the roof)
I get away
From the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise
Down in the street
(Up on the roof)
On the roof
The only place
I know
Where you just
Have to wish
To make it so
Let's go
Up on the roof
(Up on the roof)

At night the stars
Put on a
Show
For free
And darling
You can share it
All with me
I keep a-tellin' you
Right smack dab
In the middle of town
I've found a paradise
That's trouble proof
(Up on the roof)
And if this world
Starts getting you down
There's room enough
For two
Up on the roof
(Up on the roof)
Up on the roo-oo-oof
(Up on the roof)
Oh, come on baby
(Up on the roof)
Oh, come on honey
(Up on the roof)
Everything is all right
(Up on the roof)
