Can the Adults Please Smoke? Part 24, Drunk on Guinness — Page 171

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's 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 (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-tellin' you

Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)

Everything is all right (up on the roof)


And, now, up on MY roof terrace I go with a glass of wine, to watch the last of the day drift away.

Cheers to all!

Cute story about NYC rooftops:

When I was checking into my hotel on Saturday, a British couple and their 4 kids were also checking in. In his very lovely accent, the man asked the clerk, "Do you have a penthouse garden here?" The guy behind the desk looked a tad perplexed and said, "No, we don't." The Dad turned to his little four-year-old and said, "Sorry, love, they don't have one." Then he turned to me and said, "He's obsessed with the idea of penthouse gardens and makes me ask everywhere we go, so I thought I would get it out of the way and nip it in the bud or he'll never stop asking me." I laughed and said, "I know what you mean! My kids are like that too! It's always better to get it from someone else because they never believe mom or dad!" "Yes, exactly! And now I'm off the hook!"

Anyway, I think penthouse gardens are perfect objects of obsession. makes sense to me!

I'm just obsessed with penthouse apartment.

I am leaving my office now. I will be back ce soir.

(It was nice to spend some time talking with you the other night, Gracie. )

I'm trying to think of a name that might tie into the Smoking Thread and BWW...

Darvon.

Hey, YWIW, Sidney J. Mussburger is YOUR cat so you should name him whatever you want.

I'm so glad somebody got it.

I saw the tour last week, and it was fantastic. Just fantastic.

Lucky you!!

I'm "stuck" on names of liquors for a cat name. I wonder why?...
