The Elevator |
| 1st floor decide what you`ll be one day |
| With a head full of comment and nothing to say |
| 2nd floor mixed up it happens that way |
| Soon you realize that listening don`t pay |
| 3rd floor in limbo, no easy moves |
| Up or down it`s time to choose |
| The elevators going up Quick the door`s about to shut |
| Too late we`re full just hang around |
| It won`t be long — it won`t be long before it`s down |
| 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 |
| Now it`s apparent downstairs ain`t so fuuny |
| 6th floor a mortgage, a collar and tie |
| 2 weeks vacation in june or july |
| The elevators going up Quick the door`s about to shut … |
| 7th floor expenses and private schools |
| Pushing a pen you`re not turning the tools |
| 8th floor position, respect and acclaim |
| Move up the 9th for fortune or fame |
| 10th floor for investment and real estate |
| Recouping the redies before it`s tool late |
| 11th floor the penthouse the final cut |
| With a head full of comment and a mouth that stays shut |
| The elevators going up Quick the door`s about to shut … |
