One day when I got hungry I sold the wooden house
I had to visit uncle Gandhi who lives in Calcutta town
Uncle Gandhi is rich, he's a taxi driverman
And I know that he will help me as much as he can

A taxi driverman is what I want to be
But there are no customers who want to ride with me
I don't know why it could be that I'm almost blind
But every street in Calcutta I can find

Calcutta, I am a taxi driver in
Calcutta, I drive my little taxi in
Calcutta, taxi taxi taxi in
Calcutta, I am a taxi driverman

I love to drive the taxi I like it very much
Even though I have no license I always find the clutch
I can drive without my hands, I can drive without my feet
And I have no problem keeping taxi on the street

Calcutta, I am a taxi driver in
Calcutta, I drive my little taxi in
Calcutta, taxi taxi taxi in
Calcutta, taxi taxi taxi in

Calcutta, I am a taxi driver in
Calcutta, I drive my little taxi in
Calcutta, taxi taxi taxi in
Calcutta, I am a taxi driverman
I am a taxi driverman

Calcutta, I am a taxi driver in
Calcutta, I drive my little taxi in
Calcutta, taxi taxi taxi in
Calcutta, taxi taxi taxi in

Calcutta, I am a taxi driver in
Calcutta, I drive my little taxi in
Calcutta, taxi taxi taxi in
Calcutta, I am a taxi driverman
I am a taxi driverman
I am a taxi driverman
