 I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block

 And I sit at home looking out the window

Imagining the world has stopped

Then in flies a guy who s all dressed up like a union jack

And says, I ve won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

 I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud

Don t hang around cause twos a crowd, baby

The telephone is ringing

 I say, hi, its me. who is it there on the line?

A voice says, hi, hello, how are you

Well, I guess I m doing fine

He says, its three a.m., there s too much noise

Don t you people ever wanna go to bed?

Just cause you feel so good, do you have

 To drive me out of my head?

 I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud

Don t hang around cause twos a crowd, baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this

 And decided to take a drive downtown

It was so very quiet and peaceful

There was nobody, not a soul around

I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream

In the morning the parking tickets were just like

 A flag stuck on my window screen

 I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud

Don t hang around cause twos a crowd, baby

 I said, hey! you! get off of my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud

Hey! you! get off of my cloud

Don t hang around cause twos a crowd, baby
