You can have Riff 1 as an intro and join it up with line 1 if you
want.
(Riff 1)
ooh, well i got a girl with a record machine
when it comes to rockin' she's the queen
(Riff 2)
we love to dance on a saturday night
(No playing)
all alone where i can hold her tight
(Riff 1)
but she lives on the twentiest floor uptown
(No playing)
the elevator's broken down
CHORUS
so i walked one, two flight, three flight, four
five, six, seven flight, eight flight, more
up on the twelfth i started to drag
fifteenth floor i'm a-ready to sag
get to the top, i'm too tired to rock
(Riff 1)
when she calls me up on the telephone
say, come on over honey, i'm all alone
(Riff 2)
i said, baby you're mighty sweet
(No playing)
but i'm in bed with the achin' feet
(Riff 1)
this went on for a couple of days
(No playing)
but i couldn't stay away
CHORUS
(Riff 1)
well they sent to chicago for repairs
till it's a-fixed i'm a-usin' the stairs
(Riff 2)
hope they hurry up before it's too late
(No playing)
i love my baby too much to wait
(Riff 1)
all this climbin' is a-gettin' me down
(No playing)
they'll find my corpse draped over a rail
CHORUS

Hope you enjoy the song, by the way, did you know that this song kind
of got Paul McCartney into The Beatles? He was the only one that knew
the words to the song and the others didn't although they loved to
play the song.
