First Verse
I'm Dennis Dupree from Danville,
I've moved into your town.
Dennis Dupree from Danville,
I'm here to take a look around.
Get this across,
Dupree is boss,
There must be somethin'
Happ'nin in your town.

2nd Verse
I went down to the street, babe,
To look at the flashing lights.
I lived down on the street, babe,
Nothing there is out of sight.
Get this across,
Dupree is boss,
There must be somethin'
Happ'nin in your town.

1st Chorus
I went down to the drug store,
To buy myself some shades,
What do you think I found there?
A girl who was quite the rave.

2nd Chorus
What's the matter with your town?
The sights and sounds are dead.
You treat me like a poor town,
When city life is in your head.

Outro

Get this across,
Dupree is boss,
There must be some-thin'
Happ'nin in your town.
Ah.

When this old world starts gettin' me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space.

Chorus:
On the roof as peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me.

Let me tell you now...
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustlin' crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the street.

Chorus
On the roof's the the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so.
(Lets go up on the roof)

Bridge
At night the stars
Put on a show for free,
And darling, you can
Share it all with me.

Let me tell you now...
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustlin' crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the street.

Up on the roof
Up on the roof
Up on the roof

First Verse:
She's got a word or two to tell you,
She's got some pots and pans to sell you.
And when you wake up early in the mornin'
Look out your door and she'll be walkin'
On Cobble stone road, with her pots and pans Lookin' for the rich with money at hand
on cobble stone road, with a heav-y load
She's been walkin'
Oh, She's been walkin'

Second Verse:
You see the little black cart
With the wooden wheels,
She's doesn't sacrifice goods for a phony deal
She stays alive on a fifty cent meal,
She makes no bargins on an automobile
She'd rather walk and save money I guess,
And the law can't touch her at all
On cobble stone road, with a heavy load
She's been walkin'
Oh, She's been walkin'

Chorus:
I wonder if she's ever lonely
I wonder if there's someone
Waiting home with her
To be alone with her

Third Verse:
She wears a long black cape right down to her toes
It's a hand made piece she just loves to show
She stays alive on a fifty cent meal,
She makes no bargins on an automobile
She'd rather walk and save money I guess,
And the law can't touch her at all
On cobble stone road, with a heavy load
She's been walkin'
Oh, She's been walkin'
