Lyrics
Hop in the back, mind the door Uncle Kofi turns the music up Yellow cab and a dashboard shrine Sweets in a little cup He says I drove a bride at dawn Late for her own wedding day We ran the lights, we made it in time She danced the whole way Tell me another one Tell me another one Every red light's a story Every turn's a rhyme Taxi driver, taxi driver, what's the news today Greatest hits on the highway, hear him say Beep beep, tell me, tell me Beep beep, tell me more Taxi driver, taxi driver, I'm not at my door Not yet, not yet, not yet Take the long way round He drove a singer to the stage Never knew her name till the show Drove a baby to the world Three a.m., the streetlights low Every passenger a chapter Every street a song He hums along to the radio And the city sings along Tell me another one Tell me another one Every red light's a story Every turn's a rhyme Taxi driver, taxi driver, what's the news today Greatest hits on the highway, hear him say Beep beep, tell me, tell me Beep beep, tell me more Taxi driver, taxi driver, I'm not at my door Not yet, not yet, not yet Take the long way round Meter's ticking, I don't mind The best stories cost no fare Roll the window, wave hello Sunshine in the driver's chair Taxi driver, taxi driver, what's the news today Greatest hits on the highway, hear him say Beep beep, tell me, tell me Beep beep, tell me more Taxi driver, taxi driver, I'm not at my door Not yet, not yet, not yet Take the long way round Beep beep Take the long way round
