To his surprise, the song became a transatlantic hit that autumn, reaching the Top 10 in the United Kingdom and rising to No. 1 in the United States.

Finchley Central is two and sixpence 
From Golders Green on the Northern Line 
And on the platform, by the kiosk 
That's where you said you'd be mine 

There we made a date 
For hours I waited 
But I'm blowed, she never showed 

At Finchley Central, ten long stations 
From Golders Green, change at Camden Town 
I thought I'd made you
But I'm afraid you really let me down

At Finchley Central, ten long stations 
From Golders Green, change at Camden Town 
I thought I'd made you
But I'm afraid you really let me down

There we made a date 
For hours I waited 
But I'm blowed, she never showed 

At Finchley Central, ten long stations 
From Golders Green, change at Camden Town 
I thought I'd made you
But I'm afraid you really let me down

Finchley Central
Two and sixpence 
Mind the dogs please
