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 wanna die young and gloriously
But 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 closing time
Ah hey hey, ah hey hey
City of night, city of night

And I don´t believe what I see in this street
I don´t know how people they 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
Ah hey hey, ah 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
Yeah she got come loving that´s as bright as the sun
And she brings it with her man when she comes
Hey, hey, city of night
Ah-hey, ah-hey, city of night
Ride on
