[Verse 1] I clock in at seven, grab my tools and my hat, Workin' for Otis, yeah, how 'bout that? First call's downtown, an old freight's stuck tight, The gears are grindin', but I'll set it right. [Chorus] Up and down all day, that's the life I know, Fixing every lift wherever they won't go. Buttons lightin' wrong, cables frayed and gray, Just another story of up and down all day. [Verse 2] Next stop's a high-rise, the lobby's in a mess, Doors won't close, it's got the tenants stressed. Pulled the panel open, there's a shorted wire, Replaced it fast, now the car's climbin' higher. [Chorus] Up and down all day, that's the life I know, Fixing every lift wherever they won't go. Rusty old machines, or shiny ones on display, Just another story of up and down all day. [Verse 3] A hotel called me, said their guests are stuck, In the penthouse lift, yeah, that's my luck. I pried the doors open, calmed their fear, Got 'em out safe, to a round of cheers. [Bridge] Sometimes it's lonely, just me and the hum, Of motors and cables, and what they become. But every fix I make, every ride that’s smooth, I know I’m part of every life's groove. [Chorus] Up and down all day, that's the life I know, Fixing every lift wherever they won't go. Rusty old machines, or shiny ones on display, Just another story of up and down all day. Just another story of up and down all day.
