Lyrics

Oh - woah.......

We're in a shiny black taxi cab
Cruising through busy streets!
Neon lights shining bright
On shiny black leather seats!
Hang a left hang a right!
On the corners outta-site!

Bridge
Midnight traffic light green's for go-go!
Backstreet joyride, we love soho!

Chorus #1
Shiny black, shiny black!
Shiny black taxi cab!
When you're trowing up
You feel bad
In a shiney black taxi cab!
In a shiny..
Taxi cab!

Oh-woah!

Our meter's doing overtime
Suberbia has gone to sleep!
As the city starts to come alive
And everybody's on the street!
Late shows! adult mags!
Sleezy brown dirty macs!

Bridge x1

Chorus #2 x1

Shiny black, shiny black!
Shiny black taxi cab!
Havin' the most fun you've ever had
In a shiny..
Taxi cab!

Spoken male voice:
"Plumstead? you must be joking."

Chorus #1 x1

Chorus #2 x1

Spoken male voice:
"D'you know I had them girls in
The back of the cab the other week
Sick all over the back seat
I had to charge 'em double
They ought'a bring back the birch
You know, bring back national service
Bring back hanging! hanging?
Hanging's to good for 'em
I'm not prejudice or anything
You know these mini-cab drivers..
They've got no tax, no insurance
Some of 'em don't even have a bleedin' car!
Anyway john, where yer wanna go then..."
