One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor

There's been some hard feelings here

About some words that were said

There's some hard feelings here and what is more

There was 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 house fools

Remember, one man's ceiling is another man's floor

One man's ceiling is another man's floor

There's been some strange goin's on

And some folks have come and gone

Like the elevator man, he don't work no more

I heard a racket in the hall

I thought I heard a fall

But I never opened up my door

It's just apartment house sense

It's like apartment house rents

Remember, one man's ceiling is another man's floor

One man's ceiling is another man's floor

There's an alley in the back of my building

Where some people congregate in shame

I was walking with my dogs

The night was black with smog

When I thought I heard somebody call my name

Remember, one man's ceiling is another man's floor

One man's ceiling
