Taxi 1919

One evening while dining
where Broadway lights are shining,
a bell boy stood waiting,
a twinkle in his eye,
on tiptoes a perching
for someone he was searching,
I pondered and wondered
till he began to cry, Oh,

Taxi (whistle)
none anywhere,
Taxi (whistle)
I've got a fare
and he tells me
he wants a double seater
he's all dolled up
like he was goin' to meet 'er,
Taxi (whistle)
drive any where
Taxi (whistle)
They'll never care,
He's thinking of little turtle dove
they only take a taxi
when they love, love, love.

Taxi (whistle)
none anywhere,
Taxi (whistle)
I've got a fare
and he tells me
he wants a double seater
he's all dolled up
like he was goin' to meet 'er,
Taxi (whistle)
drive any where
Taxi (whistle)
They'll never care,
He's thinking of little turtle dove
they only take a taxi
when they love, love, love.

That bell boy got nervous
because he got no service,
his yelling was telling
on ev'ryone about.
They thought he was raging
but he was only paging
while over and over
he'd keep it up and shout, Oh,

Taxi (whistle)
none anywhere,
Taxi (whistle)
I've got a fare
and he tells me
he wants a double seater
he's all dolled up
like he was goin' to meet 'er,
Taxi (whistle)
drive any where
Taxi (whistle)
They'll never care,
He's thinking of little turtle dove
they only take a taxi
when they love, love, love.

Taxi (whistle)
none anywhere,
Taxi (whistle)
I've got a fare
and he tells me
he wants a double seater
he's all dolled up
like he was goin' to meet 'er,
Taxi (whistle)
drive any where
Taxi (whistle)
They'll never care,
He's thinking of little turtle dove
they only take a taxi
when they love, love, love.
