I'm starting every morning with four wheels on my taxi
Dublin slowly rising, a grey sky and a coffee
I pick up a young lady running dow Fishamble Street
She told me not to gamble and wondered "don't you know me?"
So I had to tell the baby I drive ten days a week
And I could drop you out of nowhere, this is Dublin my sweet
I'm starting every morning with four wheels on my taxi
Dublin slowly rising, a grey sky and a coffee
Oh baby I'm a taxi driver and I know my streets
I can promise you there'll be no failure if I drive my rolling fleet
I see working people walking like ghosts
Sometimes they try to slow down to show they're doing fine
Some see me as a good fellow, they say "what a simple guy"
So far they've all turned mellow once they get in my car
Oh baby I'm a taxi driver and I know my streets
I can promise you there'll be no failure if I drive my rolling fleet
Yes baby I'm a taxi driver and I know my streets
When life feels like a hang over, you should spare your lovely feet
Would you trust me if I told you that I see in the dark?
And it ain't nothing like Voodoo, it's just Dublin right in sight
So next time you'll be walking round don't you dare to bypass me
Cause I'm not exactly too kind when people try not to see
Oh baby I'm a taxi driver and I know my streets
I can promise you there'll be no failure if I drive my rolling fleet
Yes baby I'm a taxi driver and I know my streets
When life feels like a hang over, you should spare your lovely feet
