Twenty Flight Rock Lyrics
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
For the moment, I can hold her tight
But she lives on a twentieth floor up town
The elevator's broken down
So I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
When she calls 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 the bed with a achin' feet
This went on for a couple of days
But I couldn't stay away
So I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm started to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Well, they called to Chicago for repairs
'Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Love my baby too much to wait
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
So I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I started to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We love to dance on a Saturday night
For the moment, I can hold her tight
But she lives on a twentieth floor up town
The elevator's broken down
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm starting to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Said c'mon over honey, I'm all alone
I said baby, you're mighty sweet
But I'm in the bed with a achin' feet
This went on for a couple of days
But I couldn't stay away
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm started to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
'Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Love my baby too much to wait
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I started to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

is this song a cover? doesnt really sound like tiger army material...
yeah it is a cover, it's originally by Eddie Cochran. i think Tiger Army's version is better, but i'm biased.
Paul McCartney played this song to impress John Lennon when they first met in 1957.

catchy as hell, perfect cover song
this is a really cute song, and nick did a great cover of it. i love the combination of psychobilly and rockabilly together. i think it's great that even though nick has a psychobilly group, he always incorporates the other music he loves into the music they play...
he also does a cover of morrissey's "the loop" on the picture disc vinyl for the ghost tigers rise album.. i'm also a huge fan of morrissey, and "the loop" was a another perfect choice for tiger army to cover.
.... psychobilly is fuckin rockabilly, just alot better lmfao... tiger army is really good dispite how many people may say they hate em... they kick ass.
Rockabilly is such a fun genre. This song is so fun. But I think it's still not all the same than psychobilly. There is a difference between them... don't ask me what, I really don't know anything about music...
