Taxi Never Came, So I Danced

Lyrics
The dinner was a disaster The waiter dropped the soup My date had left without me With a promise and a poop I stood out in the drizzle With my collar turned up high No taxi in the city Just a streetlamp and the sky Taxi never came, so I danced Right there in the rain Taxi never came, so I danced Won't be the same again Puddles in my pockets But a spring is in my shoe Taxi never came, so I danced And the night came dancing too A fellow with a clarinet Was packing up his case He tipped his hat and played me A little tune with grace The doorman started clapping The baker leaned and grinned We waltzed beneath the awning In the whisper of the wind Taxi never came, so I danced Right there in the rain Taxi never came, so I danced Won't be the same again Puddles in my pockets But a spring is in my shoe Taxi never came, so I danced And the night came dancing too Some nights go wrong And teach you how to sway Just take the long way home And let the music lead the way Taxi never came, so I danced Right there in the rain Taxi never came, so I danced Won't be the same again Puddles in my pockets But a spring is in my shoe Taxi never came, so I danced And the night came dancing too And the night came dancing too
