Twenty Flight Rock Songtext

von Eddie Cochran

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Twenty Flight Rock" von Eddie Cochran erzählt die Geschichte eines Jungen, der seine Freundin auf dem zwanzigsten Stock...

Oh well, I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We love to dance on a Saturday night
All alone, where I can hold her tight
But she lives on the twentieth floor up town
The elevator's broken down

So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Well she called me up on the telephone
Said c'mon over honey, I'm all alone
I said baby, you're mighty sweet
But I'm in bed with achin' feet
This went on for a couple of days
But I couldn't stay away

So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Well, they sent to Chicago for repairs
'Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Want my baby too much to wait
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail

But I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
