Twenty Flight Rock
Rockin' Struggles and Love on Twenty Flight Rock
Lyrics
Oh well
Expression of resignation or acceptance
I've got a girl with a record machine
He has a girlfriend who owns a record player
When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
She's excellent at rocking or dancing to music
We love to dance on a Saturday night
They enjoy dancing on Saturday nights
All alone, I can hold her tight
He can embrace her closely when they're alone
But she lives in a twentiest floor up town
His girlfriend lives on the 20th floor of an uptown building
The elevator's broken down
The elevator is out of order
So I walked one, two flight, three flight
He starts walking up the stairs
Four
Continues climbing the stairs
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
He counts each flight of stairs he climbs
Up on the twelfth I started to drag
Starting to feel exhausted by the 12th floor
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Feeling fatigued by the 15th floor
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
He's too tired to dance or rock when he reaches the top
When she calles me up on the telephone
She invites him over when she's alone
Said c'mon over honey, I'm all alone
He acknowledges her invitation but declines due to tiredness
I said baby, you're mighty sweet
He appreciates her gesture
But I'm in the bed with a achin' feet
Explains he's in bed with sore feet
This went on for a couple of days
Describes the situation lasting for a few days
But I couldn't stay away
He can't resist going to see her despite exhaustion
So I walked one, two flight, three flight
Repeats the process of climbing the stairs
Four
Continues counting the flights of stairs
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Repeats climbing the stairs multiple times
Up on the twelfth I'm ready to drag
Starting to feel exhausted by the 12th floor again
Fifteenth floor I started to sag
Feeling fatigued by the 15th floor again
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Still too tired to dance or rock when reaching the top
Well, they sent to Chicago for repairs
The elevator is being repaired in Chicago
'Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs
Until it's fixed, he continues using the stairs
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Expresses urgency to see his girlfriend
Want my baby too much to wait
He's impatient to be with her
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
Constant climbing is affecting him negatively
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
Humorous hyperbole about his fatigue
But I climbed one, two flight, three flight
Continues climbing the stairs
Four
Keeps track of the number of flights he climbs
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Repeatedly climbing multiple flights of stairs
Up on the twelfth I'm ready to drag
Feeling tired by the 12th floor yet again
Fifteenth floor I started to sag
Feeling fatigued by the 15th floor again
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Arrives at the top but too tired to dance or rock
