מילים לשיר The Elevator – UB40

1st floor decide what you'll be one day
2nd floor mixed up it happens that way
3rd floor in limbo, no easy moves
With a head full of comment and nothing to say
Soon you realize that listening don't pay Up or down it's time to choose
Chorus The elevators going up
Quick the door's about to shut
Too late we're full just hang around
It won't be long 4th floor the job hunt and all that you ask Is an honest day's pay for an honest day's graft
5th floor you may make a little more money
2 weeks vacation in june or july
Now it's apparent downstairs ain't so funny
6th floor a mortgage, a collar and tie Chorus The elevators going up
Quick the door's about to shut . Etc
7th floor expenses and private schools 8th floor position, respect and acclaim
Move up the 9th for fortune or fame
Pushing a pen you're not turning the tools
10th floor for investment and real estate
Recouping the redies before it's too late
11th floor the penthouse the final cut
With a head full of comment and a mouth that stays shut Chorus
The elevators going up Quick the door's about to shut . Etc.
