Lyrics
I'm going straight to the top, oh yeah
Up where the air is fresh and clean
I'm going straight up to the top, oh yeah
If you know me, you know what I mean
I can't let sorrow
Pull ol' Frankie down
Live for tomorrow, I have found, you
I'm going straight up to the top, oh yeah
Up where the air is fresh and clean
I just know that I will never stop, no, no
Until I know I'm wild and free
I'm like a champagne bubble, pop-pop-pop
I'm like those birdies
High up in the trees
I can't let sorrow pull ol' Frankie down
Live for tomorrow, I have found, you
I'm going straight up to the top, oh yeah
Up where the air is fresh and clean
I can't let sorrow pull ol' Frankie down
Live for tomorrow, I have found, you
I'm going straight up to the top, oh yeah
Up where the air is
Up where the air is
Up where the air is
Up where the air is
Up where the air is fresh and clean, hoo
Hoo, hoo
