TAXI

i got a job to drive a cab

and i began that service

although the thought of doing this

quite frankly made me nervous

the first day someone left the cab

before they'd left me money

i had to make it up myself

which i found quite unfunny

the second day i had a drunk

who couldn't hold his liquor

i could have saved a clean up bill

if only i'd been quicker

the third day i picked up a fare

and drove him to his address

when i arrived my tire was flat

which caused me grief and sadness

the fourth day i ran out of gas

when i was on the freeway

i thought i'd lose my job for sure

but i was granted leeway

the fifth day some guy pulled a gun

and ripped me off quite blindly

he then relieved me of my keys

which i found most unkindly

so now i drive an ice cream truck

and have no reservations

there's just good humor in the back

and never bad vibrations
