I′ve been scratched, so I grew claws,
I've been clawing at this windy city way too long
People think it′s safe for a kitty like me,
but I've played with dogs and come up with fleas.

I've had friends and enemies
Either can turn on you 180 degrees
Eat or get eaten in these rigerous streets
Always keep an eye or your gropin′ me(?)

It′s like every time I try to give someone a chance
Every time I try to give a helping hand
People don't appreciate the friend I am
So what′s the point of doing it again and again?


Maybe I'm just being negative
Today′s a new day and I should jump right in
Put a smile on my face, catch a cab someplace,
Maybe he'll be nice and ask my name

Hey, lady
Step into my taxi
Come into my cabbie
I′ll drive you through the city

Hey, lady
Life is getting crazy
Girl, you'll have to trust me
Gonna make it safely

Hey Mr. Taxi Cab, hey hey hey
Feels like I've been standing here all day
I called the number twice, they said you were late.
"But wait, how late?" - they hung up on my face.

And then you get here in your beat up car,
I don′t know who you think you are,
and you clearly don′t know who it is I am,
So what's the point of telling you again and again?


So it′s down two blocks,
Hang a left at the light,
When you get to Spring Street, make a right, alright?
If you'd make it swift, that′d be so swell
I'm trying to catch ′The Housewives of Beverly Hills.'

Man, your cab could use some T.L.C.
I've no left eye but I don′t like what I see (?)
And you know how you said no one rides for free?
Whatcha gonna pay me if I catch your disease?

Hey, lady
Step into my taxi
Come into my cabbie
I′ll drive you through the city

Hey, lady
Life is getting crazy
Girl, you'll have to trust me
Gonna make it safely

All these cars put the ′ick' in ′Traffic',
I guess we should talk, so the time will pass quick,
But that doesn′t mean I'm giving you a fat tip,
What's you name, bro, you don′t look like a Patrick.

Oh, my dad′s calling, he gets on my nerves,
Oh, you hadn't seen yours in 15 years?
Or your two kids either, it can′t be true
It makes me think twice bout how I treated you.

I got in here and didn't ask how you′re doing
Like I'm the only one that′s got worries brewing
In my universe, population: one
It's amazing how easily you can be so dumb.

Yes, you haven't walked in my high-heeled shoes
But I know it doesn′t mean I should be so rude
Thanks for the ride and good luck to you
Carry on Taxi Man and do what you do

Hey, lady
Step into my taxi
Come into my cabbie
I′ll drive you through the city

Hey, lady
Life is getting crazy
Girl, you'll have to trust me
Gonna make it safely

Hey, lady
Step into my taxi
Come into my cabbie
I′ll drive you through the city

Hey, lady
Life is getting crazy
Girl, you'll have to trust me
Gonna make it safely

Step into my taxi,
Step into my taxi, (Hey-hey-hey)
Step into my taxi,
Ridin′ nice and easy,

Step into my taxi,
Step into my taxi, (Hey-hey-hey)
Step into my taxi,
Ridin' nice and easy,

Step into my taxi,
Step into my taxi, (Hey-hey-hey)
Step into my taxi,
Ridin′ nice and easy,

Step into my taxi,
Step into my taxi, (Hey-hey-hey)
Step into my taxi, taxi,
Ridin' nice and easy,
