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
