one man's ceiling is another man's floor
There's been some hard feelings here About some words that were said There's been some hard feelings here And what is more There's been a bloody purple nose And some bloody purple clothes That were messing up the lobby floor It's just apartment house rules So all you 'partment fools Remember: one man's ceiling Is another man's floor Remember: one man's ceiling Is another man's floor  There's been some strange goin's on And some folks have come and gone And the elevator man don't work no more I heard a racket in the hall And I thought I heard a fall But I never opened up my door It's just apartment house sense It's like apartment rents Remember: one man's ceiling Is another man's floor Remember: one man's ceiling Is another man's floor  And there's an alley  In the back of my building Where some people congregate in shame I was walking with my dog And the night was black with smog When I thought I heard somebody Call my name
