Herman's Hermits
"Upstairs, Downstairs"


(Gouldman)

Upstairs, mmmm
Downstairs, mmmm
Upstairs, mmmm
Downstairs

Upstairs every night
There's a boy listening to his radio
Downstairs just one flight
A girl waits patiently
Downstairs every night
Sits a girl listening from the floor below
Upstairs just one flight
A boy waits patiently
Each one knowing
That the other is there
Each one hoping
That the other will dare
To climb the first stair

Downstairs, mmmm
Upstairs, mmmm
Downstairs

Upstairs in the night
The boy hears crying from the room below
He goes down one flight
And dries her tear-filled eyes
Upstairs every night
All is quiet in the room above
Downstairs just one flight
There's nothing to be sad
No more lonely
Girl and boy have met
The upstairs room is
Advertised to let
Now these two have met

Upstairs, mmmm
Downstairs, mmmm
Upstairs, mmmm
Downstairs
