UB40 - The Elevator lyrics

first floor decide what you`ll be one day
With a head full of comment & nothing to say
second floor mixed up it happens that way
Soon you realize that listening don`t pay
third floor in limbo, no easy moves
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 - it won`t be long before it`s down

fourth floor the job hunt & all that you ask
Is an honest day`s pay for an honest day`s graft
fifth floor you may make a little more money
Now it`s apparent downstairs ain`t so fuuny
sixth floor a mortgage, a collar & tie
2 weeks vacation in june or july

#chorus#

seventh floor expenses & private schools
Pushing a pen you`re not turning the tools
eighth floor position, respect & acclaim
Move up the nineth for fortune or fame
tenth floor for investment & real estate
Recouping the redies before it`s tool late
eleventh floor the penthouse the final cut
With a head full of comment & a mouth that stays shut
