Taxi Cab, Taxi Cab, at the light
Won't you take me on a ride through this city of night
I got some money and I'm feeling fine
I ain't in no hurry, so just take your time
Some people want to die young and gloriously
Taxi Cab driver, well, that ain't me
I got a cute little baby down at 12th and Vine
And she opens for business just about closin' time
Hey hey, hey hey
City of night, city of night
I don't believe what I see in this street
I don't know how people 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 take my fare
Hey hey, hey hey
City of night, city of night
I'm riding tonight to see my sugar, girl
You know she wears that dress without a care in the world
She's got some loving that's as bright as the sun
And well she brings it with her man when she comes
Hey hey, city of night
Hey hey, city of night
Ride on
