There's been some hard feelings here
About some words that were said
Been some hard feelings here and what is moreThere's been a bloody purple nose
And some bloody purple clothes
That were messing up the lobby floorIt's just apartment house rules so all you 'partment fools
Remember one man's ceiling is another man's floor
One man's ceiling is another man's floorThere's been some strange goin's on
And some folks have come and gone
Like the elevator man don't work no moreI heard a racket in the hall and I thought I heard a call
But I never opened up my door
It's just apartment house senseIt's like apartment rents
Remember one man's ceiling is another man's floor I'll tell you
One man's ceiling is another man's floorThere's an alley in the back of my building
Where some people congregate in shame
I was walking with my dogs
And the night was black with smog
When I thought I heard somebody call my nameRemember one man's ceiling is another man's floor, goddamn
One man's ceiling is another man's floor
