Taxicab, taxicab at the light

Won't you take me on a ride

Through this city at night

I got some money and I'm feelin' fine

I ain't no hurry so just take your time



Some people wanna die young and gloriously

Well taxicab driver, hey that ain't me

I got a cute little baby

down at 12th and Vine

And she opens for business just about closin' time



Ah hey hey, ah hey hey

City at night, city at night



I don't believe what I see in this street

I don't know how they can take the heat

Well baby I'm a liar, I'm a cheat

And I don't care

I got my money, I can't take my fare



I'm ridin' tonight, I'm on my way

C'mon baby...

I can take it or live it, when it comes

Got my baby by the light of the sun

You know she brings it with her and then she comes



Hey, hey, city at night

Hey, hey, city at night

Ride on
