Standing alone in the damp and the dark
in a GPO call box in Finsbury Park,
I dialled three numbers, she said ''Ello?'
But if I press Button 'A' all my pennies will go.

So, say who you are love, and not ''Ello?'
Just give me your name and give me your number.
Say who you are love, and not 'Ello?'
If I press Button 'A', all my pennies will go.

The song never tells us what the numbers actually were, alas.
