Can someone tell the folks upstairs That their floor is my ceiling. They stomp about, Scream and shout. In a fleet, They drag their feet. They tap dance in their hall, And cause my crockery to fall. While they boisterously shake, I'm forced to stay awake. They slam their doors, and I settle scores, By returning a 'thud', Which goes unheard. And finally when they clamber to bed, I thank my stars and think in my head, Those noisy wrecks, Are a pain in our necks, I would have loved them more, Had they lived on another floor.

The people upstairs
Can someone tell the folks upstairs That their floor is my ceiling. They stomp about, Scream and shout. In a fleet, They drag their feet. They tap dance in their hall, And cause my crockery to fall. While they boisterously shake, I'm forced to stay awake. They slam their doors, and I settle scores, By returning a 'thud', Which goes unheard. And finally when they clamber to bed, I thank my stars and think in my head, Those noisy wrecks, Are a pain in our necks, I would have loved them more, Had they lived on another floor.
