Up-Stairs and Down
Words by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young and Music by Walter Donaldson
Verse 1: Talk of baby vampires, Well, here's one that I know,
Her beau lived right below, In a two-flight bungalow;
She knew the way to "vamp" him, This baby wasn't slow;
He followed her like "Mary's lamb," Where ever she would go.
Chorus: Up-stairs and down, Up-stairs and down,
He kept pleading for a kiss, Like a silly clown;
The reason why they're married, is whispered all around,
He tripped and fell while running after her, Up-stairs and down.
Verse 2: Life is like a see-saw, It's full of ups and downs,
One day misfortune frowns, And then good luck makes her rounds;
This vamp mad life a study, She knew her P's and Q's;
While wearing out his lonely heart, She wore out all his shoes.
Chorus: Up-stairs and down, Up-stairs and down,
He kept pleading for a kiss, Like a silly clown;
The reason why they're married, is whispered all around,
He tripped and fell while running after her, Up-stairs and down.
