[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
