The taxi cabs driving me crazy
How come dey always leaving me
Oh yes the young man drive away
Quick quick when he hear me say
One twenty-fifth and Lenox pleaseDon't you know
The taxi gone with the breeze Sixteen miles I walk, walk, walk, walk
Waiting on a taxi here in New YorkI didn't get home until ten o'clockSixteen miles I walk, walk, walk, walk
Waiting on a taxi here in New YorkI didn't get home until ten o'clockPoor boy don't you know taxi won't go
No, no, no ,no I continued walking the journey
Lord knows me feet was killing me
Out of nowhere up come a taxi
And he decided to take me
He ask me what's my destiny
Harlem for sure mister cabby
Just as soon as I hop in
The man holler out - no gasoline Sixteen miles I walk, walk, walk, walk
Waiting on a taxi here in New YorkI didn't get home until ten o'clockSixteen miles I walk, walk, walk, walk
Waiting on a taxi here in New YorkI didn't get home until ten o'clockPoor boy don't you know taxi won't go
No, no, no ,no Taxi hey mister taxiWhat's the big hurry
I decided to forget the taxi
And take the subway Lord have mercy
Six inches of snow and I freezing
All I try - I couldn't stop sneezing
I took the downtown express you know
And is uptown I really want to go
Completely lost and beat
Still looking for a taxi out on Chambers Street Sixteen miles I walk, walk, walk, walk
Waiting on a taxi here in New YorkI didn't get home until ten o'clockSixteen miles I walk, walk, walk, walk
Waiting on a taxi here in New YorkI didn't get home until ten o'clockPoor boy don't you know taxi won't go
No, no, no ,no The Manhattan taxi ain't joking
They ain't going to Harlem or de BronxIf ever they stop you'll be lucky
How come they always off duty
When you take the subway you take a chance
Keep your hands in your jacket and your pantsDon't you sleep on the train'Cause you may never wake up again Sixteen miles I walk, walk, walk, walk
Waiting on a taxi here in New YorkI didn't get home until ten o'clockSixteen miles I walk, walk, walk, walk
Waiting on a taxi here in New YorkI didn't get home until ten o'clockPoor boy don't you know taxi won't go
No, no, no ,no
