Knock Three Times
Italian Pop Song
English Lyric
Vocal by Tony Orlando and Dawn
Cartwheel, 1971


Hey girl what-cha doin' down there?
Dancin' alone every night,
While I live right above you.
I can hear your music playin'.
I can feel your body swayin'.
One floor below me you don't even know me.
I love you.

Oh, my darling,
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me.
Mmm-hmmm, twice on the pipe if the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness, (Knock, knock, knock.)
Means you'll meet me in the hallway.
Twice on the pipe (tap, tap),
Means you ain't gonna show.

If you look out your window tonight,
Pull in the string with the note,
That's attached to my heart.
Read how many times I saw you.
How in my silence I adored you.
Only in my dreams did that,
Wall between us come apart.

Oh, my darling,
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me.
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness, (knock, knock, knock.)
Means you'll meet me in the hallway.
Twice on the pipe (tap, tap),
Means you ain't gonna show.

Whoa, I can hear your music playin'.
I can feel your body swayin'.
One floor below me you don't even know me.
I love you.

Oh, my darling,
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me.
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness, (Knock, knock, knock.)
Means you'll meet me in the hallway.
Twice on the pipe (tap, tap)
Means you ain't gonna show.
