Up On the Roof (Single/LP Version)
The Drifters

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space


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

Oh, come on, baby

Oh, come on, honey

Everything is all right
