My man's a taxi driver
My man's a taxi driver
I'd like to take a ride with you
Don't want to be tied to you
I promise I'll try my very best
to please you, darling
You know that fair's fair with me
There's things you can share with me
So take my tip
And we can skip formalities
Won't you be my cruising Casanova
Click your fingers
and I'll be over there
Smoothing your hair,
soothing your cares away
There's no refusing, Casanova
Stop the clock and working overtime
Cruising Casanova, be mine
My man's a taxi driver
Every major international city
has that most popular means of transport,
the taxi.
That unique brand of conveyance which
combines efficiency with individuality.
Perhaps, most popular
for the personal service it provides.
Enthusiastic, hard-working,
with never a moment's rest,
probably the taxi driver's
most lovable attribute is the warm welcome
he is always eager
to extend to foreign visitors.
The moment you hail a taxi,
you can be sure
of being greeted by a friendly smile,
a concern for your well-being,
and someone at the wheel always ready
to lend a helping hand.
There are, at present,
literally millions of taxis
operating throughout the world
on a 24-hour basis.
Ensuring that at any time,
day or night, within seconds
you can be speeding happily away
to the destination of your choice.
Renowned for their total lack of prejudice,
a taxi will stop for anybody
irrespective of colour, class or creed.
Adored by the public for their
whimsical charm and delightful disposition,
perhaps more than any other form
of public transport,
the taxi driver holds a unique place
in the hearts of the people.
Not least, his fellow road users
who appreciate to the full
that quiet, courteous patience,
that affable, friendly manner,
that consideration for his fellow motorists
with whom he is always ready to exchange
a friendly wave and some merry little quip.
But possibly more than anything else
to his credit,
the taxi driver bears the distinction
of being a driver of knowledge,
experience and efficiency,
reassuring all who drive with him
that the taxi is not only the
safest vehicle on the road,
but holds the proud record for being
involved in the least number of accidents.
Without a doubt, we, the public, owe much
to these gallant knights of the road,
of whom it can truly be said,
"Everything we feel for them,
they feel for us."
That'll be 75, guv. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Well, you try smiling
when you've been lumbered with
a miserable tight-fisted git like him,
after you've fought through
all the bleeding traffic
and had him moaning on at you,
like it was all your fault.
Sorry about that.
Been a bit of a bad day. Know what I mean?
By the way, my name's Joe.
Well, with a name like that, I had to
go in the cabbing business, didn't I?
Been at it a year or so now.
Have my own cab. Well, almost.
Soon as I've finished paying for it.
Yeah, it's not such a bad job really.
Hard work, but then
Not that I mind.
Got me health and strength.
Know what I mean?
Mind you, I'll be a lot happier
when I get my own place.
Trouble is, you see, I live at home.
You need a bit of peace and quiet
after doing this job.
And living at home? No
joke, I can tell you.
Oh, yeah, makes a great start to the day.
Oh, come on, Mum, I'm late as it is.
Well, it's your own fault.
Coming in here last
night, pissed as a newt,
crashing about all over the place
and waking me up.
Lay off, Ma, will you? Do us a favour.
You're getting more like your father
