When these dead boards start getting us down
And people are just too much for us to face
We climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all our cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it’s peaceful there’s no fuss
And there the world below can’t bother us
Let me tell you now
When we come home feelin’ tired and beat
we go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
we 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 we know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let’s go up on the roof (up on the roof)
Martin And PB: At night the stars put on a show for free
PB: And, Martin, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin’ you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
we’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)
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
[Fade]
Everything is all right (up on the roof)
