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 don’t bother me.                  When I come home feelin’ tired and beat     I go up where the air is fresh and sweet.          I get away from the hustling crowd    And all that rat-race noise down in the street.              On the roof?s the only place I know   Where you just have to wish to make it so.                   (Lets go up on the roof)   Instrumental break:  verse melody   At night the stars put on a show for free   And darling you can share it all with me.                I keep on telling you that    Right smack dab in the middle of town    I’ve found a paradise that’s trouble-proof            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 roof   Up on the roof.
