[Verse 1]
Lazy boys and shy Dianes
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The number four means nothing to me
But the number four means death to Chinese
Number seven's lucky in Japan
Here, we don't give a damn

[Chorus]
But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
Thirteenth going up, going up, going up

[Verse 2]
Relaxing as I wait in line
Some of the numbers lose their signs
Specially the numbers one through nine
Because they're only seating parties of ten or higher
For the dancing, the question mark stickers and the mermaid kickers
[Pre-Chorus]
The number four means nothing to me
But the number four means death to Chinese
Number seven's lucky in Japan
Here, we don't give a damn

[Chorus]
But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
Going up, going up, going up
