Lazy boys and shy Diane's   One at a time, single file   They counted the low numbers   As they walked by      I count a high number, a low number   Among the slow numbers      The number four means nothin' to me   But the number four means death to Chinese   Number seven is lucky in Japan   Here we don't give a damn      But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor   On the elevator, no thirteenth floor   Thirteenth goin' up, goin' up, goin' up      Relaxin' as I wait in line   Some of the numbers   Lose their smiles   Specially the numbers one through nine      Because they're only seatin' parties   Of ten or higher   For the dancin' the question mark sticker   And the mermaid kickers      The number four means nothin' to me   But the number four means death to Chinese   Number seven is lucky in Japan   Here we don't give a damn      But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor   On the elevator, no thirteenth floor   Goin' up, goin' up, goin' up
