Taxi driver!
Taxi driver!
Taxi driver!

I used to say you were afraid to come out and play.
But, oh, I didn’t know you weren’t alone, you weren’t alone.

You’re a taxi driver taking me for a ride.
You’re a taxi driver. Taxi driver, yeah.

Taxi driver taking me for a ride.
You’re a taxi driver taking me for a ride.
You’re a taxi driver taking me for a ride.
You’re a taxi driver. Taxi driver, yeah.
