Cochran, Eddie - Twenty Flight Rock Lyrics






Oh well, I've got a girl with a record machine
When it comes to rockin' she's the queen
We love to dance on a Saturday night
All alone, I can hold her tight
But she lives in a twentiest floor up town
The elevator's broken down

So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I started to drag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

When she calles me up on the telephone
Said c'mon over honey, I'm all alone
I said baby, you're mighty sweet
But I'm in the bed with a achin' feet
This went on for a couple of days
But I couldn't stay away

So I walked one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm ready to drag
Fifteenth floor I started to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Well, they sent to Chicago for repairs
Till it's a-fixed I'm using the stairs
Hope they hurry up before it's too late
Want my baby too much to wait
All this climbin' is gettin' me down
They'll find my corpse draped over a rail

But I climbed one, two flight, three flight, four
Five, six, seven flight, eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm ready to drag
Fifteenth floor I started to sag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock

Cochran, Eddie Twenty Flight Rock Comments
  1. r.... j....

    Eddie, only 17 (or 18) and already in the major league of RnRoll. I'm lost of words.

  2. j.... m....

    The Maid was the only one who knew how to groove to this Rock.
    Not sure if to be offended or back handily proud of Black Hollywood flr a major Win. Looking back then stuffy corpaorate white folk were lame .😄

  3. H.... ....

    American Superman!

  4. N.... ....

    Jayne Mansfield looks more bouncy than Mariska Hargitay

  5. B.... ....

    People mourning xxtenations and my slow ass is here mourning this guy.
    He died way to young man.

  6. M.... S....

    So weird that Eddie Cochran and Jayne Mansfield both died in car accidents

  7. T.... H....

    I love this era so much, such a gentleman, the songs are so innocent but they represent such frustration in the era there’s nothing sleazy about it. Eddie died far too young and little did he know the influence he’d have on modern music. RIP legend

  8. T.... S....

    If this song wouldn't have existed, then there would be no Beatles today.

  9. P.... L....

    So cool, one of the best, who is the girl dancing??

  10. H.... G....

    Le meilleur !!!

  11. L.... A....

    I dunno - anyone see the very close similarities between Cochran and Johnny Depp's performance as the Hot Rodding, Rock `n Rolling Rebel in Cry-Baby? Blonde Bombshell, Jane Mansfield's part played by sultry seducer good-bad girl Traci Lords in the same movie.

  12. I.... ....

    Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran, both died so young and tragically....2 of the strongest influences on the Quarrymen, later named The Beatles, in honor of Buddy Holly and The crickets.... by their most famous fan, John Lennon

  13. M.... M....

    Coolest of the cool. Another that was gone too soon.

  14. H.... H....

    Jayne Mansfield....I'm melting like chocolate

  15. l.... ....

    Jayne Mansfield! ( . )( . )

    l.... ....

    or this - ) (i) ( = 8====D- - -

  16. W.... P....

    It's been reported that Jane's kids were easily recognizable from the stretch marks on their lips.

  26. A.... t....

    Died young like Buddy Holly and James Dean...

  27. b.... ....

    Hey restore the version of Gene Vincent's "Be-Bop-A-Lua" from this movie.

  28. D.... ....

    Boy could play

  29. I.... ....

    What a video ! Eddie singing the song that got Paul into The Beatles, playing that Gretsch, Jayne Mansfield...and that maid knew great music when she heard it....steppin' !!!!!

    the song of sir Paul McCartney

  49. A.... ....

    Thank you Paul McCartney for introducing me to Eddie Cochran's music.

    A.... ....

    In my case, it was Richard Hawley 😉 That tells us how important Eddie Cochran's music is!

    A.... ....

    Thank you Eddie, for writing the song that got Paul into The Beatles !!!

  50. A.... M....

    That was the time when the US was worthy of respect. I really despise this idiot in the footage who shouted at and was arrogant towards the lady. American culture is so full of enslavement.

  51. A.... L....

    forgive me for not being all too familiar, but did eddie copy elvis’ style or the other way around?

    A.... L....

    Elvis was the first big hit that other labels wanted copies of....Eddie, Ricky Nelson, Gene Vincent, Tommy Steele, Richie Valens...not to say any were less talented than he was.

  52. S.... o....

    He looks like he's going to crush himself, or wrap himself up in a ball like a armadillo.

    They really tried to get the Elvis eyes on him.

  53. S.... ....

    "I'm too tired to COCK!"

  54. M.... M....

    That Blond Rocks :)

  55. N.... g....

    Fantastic video. According to John Lennon Paul Mccartney played this song when they first met & John was so impressed he asked Paul to join the band who became "The Beatles".

  56. D.... R....

    Paul McCartney played this when he met John for the first time right?

    D.... R....

    They also snuck for a screening of this movie when they were teens

  57. E.... S....

    Eddie Cochran is beater than xxxtentacion

  58. D.... P....

    Rockabilly classic

  92. A.... D....

    Robert Gordon does amazing version of this song

  93. B.... ....

    My God, could Elvis have been anymore influential?

    I wanted to be an Elvis Presley, but it was awkward and strange.

  95. M.... J....

    Amour Souvenirs FRANCE !

  96. P.... H....

    Pretty good Elvis impersonation...

    P.... H....

    That was a popular style of dance at the time, and I don't think you know what you're talking about.

    P.... H....

    @Ducky No they dont mate.

  97. P.... F....

    Love that big orange Gretsch.

  98. a.... ....

    Jayne Mansfield was prettier than Marilyn Monroe.
