Numbers I've got by the dozen

Everyone's uncle and cousin

But I can't live without buzzin'

Pennsylvania Six, Five Thousand

I've got a sweety I know there

Someone who sets me aglow there

Gives me the sweetest "hello there"

Pennsylvania Six, Five Thousand

We don't say "how are you"

And very seldom ask "what's new?"

Instead we start and end each call with

"Baby confidentially I love you"

Maybe it sounds a bit funny

When I'm away from my honey

Here's what I do with my money

Pennsylvania 6-5000

Pennsylvania 6-5000 stands as a defining example of the 101 Strings Orchestra's lush, orchestral approach to popular music. Originally composed by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon, the song became a standard frequently interpreted by big bands and string ensembles. The 101 Strings Orchestra, known for their extensive catalogue of instrumental arrangements, transformed this vocal classic into a sweeping symphonic piece. Their recording captures the romantic and nostalgic essence of the mid-20th century, utilizing a full string section to create a rich, emotive soundscape. This interpretation highlights the group's ability to elevate well-known melodies through sophisticated orchestration, making the track a staple of easy listening and light classical music. The performance remains a testament to the enduring appeal of orchestral pop arrangements.
