Lyrics

  1. Andy Gray, young and gay
    Was an elevator man
    Like an aviator, in his elevator
    All day long he was on the job
    Taking people up and down
    Mandy Brook, as a cook
    Started working in the place
    And they found her later in the elevator
    With Andy, so handy
    Said Mandy, “It’s dandy!”

Chorus
Going up, going up
Going up, going up
With the elevator man
Going up, going up
Going up, going up
I feel like barrels of dynamite
Blowing up, blowing up
Blowing up, blowing up
Ev’ry pleasure in the land
It makes me act
Just like a funny coon
I could spend my honeymoon
Going up, going up
Going up, going up
With the elevator man

  1. Andy Gray, young and gay
    Went and married Mandy Brook
    We discovered later that the elevator
    Was the place where the knot was tied
    Tied while they were going up
    Soon a gal known as Sal
    Came to work in Mandy’s place
    And they found her later in the elevator
    With Andy, so dandy
    And handy, like Mandy
