Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

Twice a day I phone
A place that I call heaven
In other words my heart has thrown
A lucky seven

Chorus
Speaking of lucky numbers
Here’s the best I know
Miss Elizabeth Brown
At Central Two-Two Oh! Oh!
Speaking of lovely numbers
And a sweet “Hello”
Well, the sweetest in town
Is Central Two-Two Oh! Oh!
She lives alone in apartment “B”
But if a man answers the phone
It’s me
Funny thing
How we always turn the lights down low
Think whatever you please
But she’s just too, too
Oh! Oh!
