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 stair And all my cares just slip right into space (Up on the roof) On the roof is peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now When I come home feeling 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 the breathless noise down in the street (Up on the roof) On the roof's the only place I know Where you don't 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 telling you Right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise thats trouble brew 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) Oh come on baby Oh come on come on
