Sides face, everybody grand square
When this 'ol world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face (Up on the roof)
Up on the Roof (Up on the roof)
Left allemande and weave
Cause on the roof it's peaceful as can be
Swing, promenade
And there the world below don't bother me
I gotta tell you how the Heads...

The heads (sides) promenade travel halfway go round
Walk in and square thru four hands around the ring round you do
Then do a right & left thru, veer left and couples circulate two by two
You do a half tag, scoot back once
New corner swing and promenade the ring
And you just have to wish to make it so (Let's go)

Four ladies chain over and back
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
Allemande left and weave
Cause at night the stars put on a show for free
Swing and all promenade
And darling you can share it all with me
I need to tell you how the sides...

Four ladies chain, over and back
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble proof (Up on the roof)
Circle left
So if this 'ol world starts getting you down
Left allemande, swing and promenade
Around the room (Up on the roof)
Up on the Roof (Up on the roof)
Circle left now baby
(Up on the roof)
Come on darlin' (Up on the roof)
