Lyrics
Window down, the morning air The taxi rolls along He has a story for each street And a verse for every song This is where the old cinema stood And that is where he met his wife Every corner has a tale Of a long and well-lived life Tell me another one, uncle driver Tell me another one The city is a storybook And the morning has just begun Tell me another one, uncle driver We have got the whole day long Every road is a chapter And we will sing along He laughs and taps the wheel in time We harmonise a line A stranger in the back seat Feels like an old friend of mine Tell me another one, uncle driver Tell me another one The city is a storybook And the morning has just begun Tell me another one, uncle driver We have got the whole day long Every road is a chapter And we will sing along When I get out at my stop I will carry them with me All the little histories Of a town that sets us free Tell me another one, uncle driver Tell me another one The city is a storybook And the morning has just begun Tell me another one, uncle driver We have got the whole day long Every road is a chapter And we will sing along Tell me another one Tell me another one
