text: 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, baby
  Oooh and there the world below can’t bother me, yeah
  Let me tell you now
  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
  Now listen here …
  On the roof, the only place I know
  Oooh where you just have to wish to make it so
  Let’s go up on the roof
  La-la-la-la-la-la-la … 
  At night the stars put on a show for free
  Oh, and , darling, you can share it all with me, oh, oh baby
  And if this world starts getting you down
  There’s room enough for two
  Up on the roof 
  Up on the roo-oo-oof
