Going Up

Excuse me... WAIT!
Dammit, kid, you push my buttons.
You literally pushed every elevator button.

Awful lot of spunk, what a little punk
Hits ev'ry goddamn floor, runs out the door
I knew that that kid stunk
From one look at birth, I knew this day would come
Now he's a hoodlum

Going down?
We are going up
Are you certain?
Yup

Adam Klein, that prick, pulled a little trick
Ugh, when will he grow up?
Kids like that don't grow up
No, they just suit up and die
Man, you're an angry guy

I know...

All I ever wanted was to not be a doorman
Maybe play for the Yankees or look just like Paul Newman
But we don't get what we want so we must love what we get

Would you like to go out socially?
Uh... Down?
No, we're going up

Some fucking kid pushed every floor
But come and ride because it's merrier with more
Yes, we're going up!
Up to the penthouse in the sky
All 'cause little Adam Klein's a shitty guy
Yes, we're going up!

Moving?
Moving, so to speak
Not to be oblique
But the truth is I live somewhere else, it's unique
'Til today I was lately a home-wrecking sneak
It was pretty bleak

Going down?

Ha! Here's the bastard now
Jesus Christ! Have you any shame?
Oh my God!
It's the guy that cheats
And I've the receipts
And his tipping is lame
Does the whole co-op suddenly know my affairs?
Care to take the stairs?

Yeah, right! I hate the stairs.
I mean, going down them isn't the worst. But going up!
Stairs in either direction is a nightmare.
God, I love elevators!
God, I love this co-op!
Me, too! (Me, three!)

Yes, we're going up!
Co-op's crudely cooperate
It's a hassle but still somehow kinda great
So, we're going up!
In this rising purgatory
Checking in on ev'ryone and ev'ry story
Yes, we're going up! (And the brown and the beige)
Yes, we're going... (And the brown and the beige...)
Up! (And the brown and the beige...)
Co-op, I love you!
