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 |
