Jul 1912)



[1st verse:]

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



[2nd verse:]

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
