My man!!! 🆒  
Well, I got a gal with a record machine, when it comes to rockin’ baby, she’s the queen  
I call her up on a Saturday night, all alone so I can hold her tight  
But she lives on the 20th floor uptown  
The elevator’s broken down  
So I walk 1 2 flights 3 flights 4, 5, 6, 7 flights, 8 flights more  
Get to the 12 I’m startin’ to drag, 15th floor I’m ready to sag  
Get to the top, I’m too tired to rock!  
(from 20 Flight Rock by Eddie Cochrane, composer of ‘Summertime Blues’)
