[Intro]

That's the one

You found it right away

You found it right away


[Chorus]

It's a taxi ride kinda night in the city

Mr. driver man can you get me there

Well, it's a taxi ride kinda night in the city

And if you make it quick i'll pay you double fair


[Verse 1]

Standing on the other side of Avenue B

Waiting for the next ride across the city

Me and a 10 dollar bill

Make a solid plan


i've got to get inside in the pouring rain

I like to be above ground on a beautiful day

With a whistle and wail

I'll be waivin my hand


[Chorus]

It's a taxi ride kinda night in the city

mr. driver man can you get me there

where the vibe is right 

and the people are pretty

and if you make it quick, i'll pay you double fair


[Verse 2]

Hmmm, let me think

Yeah, it's quite a walk to 15 Street 

It's 5 Avenue blocks

Well, if I said I'd be there

I don't wanna be late

I don't wanna wanna wannna wanna be late


Skip the "Hi's"

"How are you?"

And the "where you from?"

'Cause tonight i'm in a hurry

And I got somewhere to be

I can't make 'em wait

That's not like me


[Chorus]

Well, it's a taxi ride kinda night in the city

Mr. driver man can you get me there

Well, it's a taxi ride kinda night in the city

And if you make it quick i'll pay ya double fair


I'll pay you double fair
