Lyrics:

Who's goin down?..........
Who's goin down, who's goin down,
Who's goin down?.......... Yowh!

I ride my elevator through the shafts of your heart
When you climb aboard baby, there's no getting off
I'm a silent operator, won't you please take my hand?
I am so polite - I'm the elevator man

Friction and harmony
Who's gonna ride with me?
I'm the elevator man

Who's goin down, who's comin with me
Who wants to take a chance
on a piece of abstract reality, huh!
It's only just a dance
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man?
I said who's goin down? Yeah.
Movin' slow without a sound...
Who's goin down, who's goin down,
who's goin down? .... I said who's goin down,
who's goin down, who's goin down

Please pretty baby, won't you come to me?
Won't you let me be your Daddy?
Come sit here on my knee.
Come tell your Sugar Daddy all of your fears
Cry for me darling, let me taste your tears
As they roll down your face, and on to the sand
We're goin down together - I'm the elevator man
Now we're movin slow without a sound
Goin up and goin down
Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand
It's worth two in the bush, so give yourself a push
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man.
I said who's goin down, who's goin
down, who's goin down? Oooooooh.
I said who's goin down, who's goin down,
who's goin down?

I said who's goin down, who's goin down,
who's goin .... I said who's goin down, who's
goin down, who's goin

Say goodbye to hate, goodbye to love
Goodbye to the world that you used to know above
Say goodbye to your momma, and your daddy too
We're going to a place that you never even knew
Now we're moving slow without a sound
Goin up and goin down
Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand
It's worth two in the bush, so give yourself a push
You wanna take a ride with the elevator man?
Friction and harmony, who's gonna ride with me?
Far across the ocean on a floating bed of sand

Eyes towards the empty skies
Searchin' for the big surprise
Who's gonna ride with the elevator man?

Who's goin down, who's goin down,
who's goin? ..... So who's goin down,
who's goin down, who's goin?
So who's goin down, who's goin down,
who's goin? .... So who's goin down-
(down-down-down-down-down)?

One of the 1st tapes I ever owned way back in `88. Still plays great! Such an upbeat fun song. But so many 80s songs were!
