Ah, well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three or four And the house 'll be a-shakin' from my bare feet slappin' on the floor Well, when you hear that music you can't sit still if your brother won't rock then your sister will Whoo... c'mon everybody! Well, we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside If my folks come home I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide They'll be no more movies for a week or two no more runnin' round with the usual crew Who cares? C'mon everybody!

Well my mom 'n' poppa told me: "son, you gotta make some money If you wanna use the car to go a-ridin' next Sunday" Well I didn't go to to work, told the boss I was sick "Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well... I've got a girl with a record machine
A
When it comes to rockin', she's the queen
D
We love to dance on a Saturday night
A
All alone where I can hold her tight
E7
But she lives on 20th floor uptown And the elevator has broken down
A
So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
D
Up on the 12th I'm startin' to drag
A
15th floor I'm ready to sag
E7
D
A
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
She called me up on the telephone Said: "Come over, baby, I'm all alone" I said: "Sorry, baby, You're mighty sweet But I'm in bed with the achin' feet" This went for a couple of days But I could not stay away So I walk one, two flight, three flight, four Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more Up on the 12th I'm startin' to drag 15th floor I'm ready to sag Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock They sent it to Chicago for repairs 'Til it's fixed I'm usin' the stairs I have to get there before it's to late My baby couldn't bear much to wait All this climbin' is gettin' me down You'll find my corpse draped over a rail But I climb one, two flight, three flight, four Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more Up on the 12th I'm startin' to drag 15th floor I'm ready to sag Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
