lyrics

You want the Seventh floor
You want the Eighteenth floor
You want the Twenty-Second floor
Take the elevator

Some get on from the Mezzanine
Some get off on Sixty-Nine
But if you want to reach the Penthouse
Take the elevator. T-t-take the elevator

It's a long way down - you could take the stairs
Such a long way down - you can jump with a parachute
It's a long way down

From the bottom to the top, you've gotta choose your stop
No easy stairway to Heaven
Take the elevator. Take the elevator
Take the elevator. T-t-take the elevator
