Lyrics
- They met by chance, met at a dance
He won her heart just with a glance
He said, “My dear, when can I call?”
She just answered, “Not at all”
“Come now,” he murmurs, “girlie explain
Give me your address, give me your name”
She murmurs low, “You mustn’t know”
But he says, “Come on be game”
Chorus
I’ve got your number, honest and true
I’ve got your number, you know it, too
Don’t know our house, I don’t know your flat
Don’t know the street where you’re living at
But I’ve got your number, and you can bet
If you keep teasing, I’ll get you yet
Don’t know your address, don’t know your name
But I’ve got your number just the same
- They talked awhile, she liked his style
“Girlie,” he said, “I like your smile
Please let me phone when you’re alone
What’s the number of your home”
“I’ve got you guessing,” girlie replies
“You think you’re clever, you think you’re wise
I thought you knew, it’s number two
Now I’m goin’ to say to you”
