1. When this old world starts getting me down

2. When I come home feelin' tired and weak,

3. (HUM)

4. Right smack dab in the middle of town

And people are just too much for me to face,

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet.

(HUM)

I found a para-dise that's trouble proof.

I climb right up to the top of the stairs,

I get away from the hustling crowd

(HUM)

And if this world starts getting you down,

And all my cares just drift right into space.

And all the rat race noise down in the street.

(HUM)

There's room enough for two up on the roof NOW SKIP DOWN TO ENDING

On the roof it's peaceful as can be,

On the roof's the only place I know

At night the stars put on a show for free

And there the world be-low can't bother me.

Where you just have to wish to make it so. (2 ONLY) Let's go up on the roof!

And, darling, you can share it all with me.

ENDING: Up on the roof, up on the roof, up on the roof, up on the roof
