Numbers in slangs!

As soon as I got home, my mother gave me the third degree to try and zero in on what I was doing all night. Well, after my nine-to-five, I grabbed forty winks then went to a party with Cecily, who was dressed to the nines. I was in seventh heaven, 'cause she is one in the million. At the party, they did not have any good forty-fives, so I sat down at the piano and played a few songs that were real top forty. Playing the ol' Eighty-eight sure put me on cloud nine.
