Reckless Rides and Wild Streets: The Taxi Driver's Anthem
Lyrics
I can snarl up the traffic when I drop my fare
I can disrupt traffic when I drop off my passenger
Put on them flashers and park any old where
I use emergency flashers and park anywhere
Even though there´s a pull-in just over there
Ignoring available parking nearby, indicating a lack of concern
I won´t do it cause I don´t care
Choosing not to follow rules because of a lack of care
I´m a taxi driver You´ve seen me ´round
Identifying as a taxi driver, a known presence
I´m a taxi driver I can cut you up or down
Expressing the ability to overtake or befriend others
I like to do U-turns in a one-way street
Enjoying making U-turns in a one-way street
Drive on a kerb now and then so watch your feet
Driving on the curb occasionally, a potential danger
I´m a taxi driver and there ain´t nothin´ sweeter
Embracing the reckless freedom of being a taxi driver
One hand on the wheel – both eyes on the meter
Driving with one hand while focusing on the fare meter
I´m a taxi driver How do you do
Greeting as a taxi driver, confident and bold
I´m a taxi driver I´m gonna drive all over you
Expressing a determination to navigate everywhere
I´m a mild mannered man when I ain´t behind this wheel
Claiming to be mild-mannered off-duty but ruthless behind the wheel
But when I am I got a license to kill
Asserting a metaphorical license to be aggressive or dangerous
I ain´t scared of nobody – don´t make me mad
Not fearing confrontation and warning against provocation
This here ain´t no yellow cab
Highlighting the singer’s taxi as distinct from a regular yellow cab
I´m a taxi driver you´ve seen me ´round
Reiterating the identity as a recognized taxi driver
I´m a taxi driver I can cut you up or down
Reaffirming the ability to either assist or hinder others
I´m a taxi driver…
Continuing the assertion of being a taxi driver
I´m gonna drive all over you
Declaring an intention to dominate or navigate freely
