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!

Addy - It's very interesting, even if difficult.

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!

That's so true, Shira.

Love that story, Miss P. I can understand that obsession, too.

I hate people who steal your cart at Target. Ratbastards.

Not only did they steal it, but emptied my contents and ran away!

Ratbastards.

And Miss P, it may end up being something other than a Newman-esque name - we will see what he comes up with.

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

Darvon.

Posted: 8/11/08 at 7:03pm

YWIW, that's ridiculous!

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 8/11/08 at 7:53pm

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

[NYadgal]

Posted: 8/11/08 at 8:14pm

LOL, DD!

Penthouse gardens are a wonderful obsession!

I am still thinking of Cat names... maybe a name from CATS? (Tie in a Broadway theme?)....

I'm so glad somebody got it.

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

Posted: 8/11/08 at 8:18pm

I got the Darvon comment, DD. I just didn't think it was FUNNY. It just made too much sense!

Posted: 8/11/08 at 8:18pm

Lucky you!!

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

You know, I just went to the Newman's Own site and there on the splash page was Paul Newman's CHardonnay and Cabernet. I thought, "Hmmm. Those are good cat names!"

So I guess you're wearing your Miss Cleo cap tonight, Addy!

Posted: 8/11/08 at 8:26pm

We will see - will give him a few days to show his true spots before I saddle him with a name.

Next on the movie list..."Annie Hall"

Posted: 8/11/08 at 8:28pm

Miss P

YWIW - in the meantime, we call him Cat. Just like Holly Golightly!

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 8/11/08 at 8:29pm

DD! I would NEVER dis you!!!! I'm sorry if it felt that way. I love you!!! I actually really need a Darvon right now...I've been in excruciating pain all day.

Shira, that's some combination of movies!

It's Olympics for me. All night!
