Taxi!
Take me to the other side of town
Just as fast you can
Taxi!
Before my baby puts me down

The freeway will be quicker
A new love is coming to get her
I'm going out of my mind
Please, won't you hurry
Don't make me worry
I don't want to lose her

Taxi!
Take me to my baby's place
Just as fast you can
Taxi!
I just want to her face
One more time

The freeway will be quicker
A new love is coming to get her
I'm going out of my mind
Please won't you hurry
Don't make me worry
Well, I don't want to lose her

Taxi!
Take me to the other side of town
Just as fast you can
Taxi!
Before my baby puts me down
Taxi!
Before my baby puts me down
