| | |(no  3rd) |No  chord
 There's been some hard  feelings here
  |
 About some words that were said
  |
 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!
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 don't work no more
 I 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 sense
 It's like apartment  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 dog
 And the night  was black with smog
 When I thought  I heard somebody
 Call my name
Ah--  Remember: one  man's ceiling is  another  man's floor!
 one man's ceiling is  another  man's floor!
