Another Taxi

Ron Squeri, Emily Everson, and Barbara Papendorp sing "Another Taxi." Words and music by Jill Leger. Performed as part of the revue "Googling My Ex (And Other Obsessions)" at Playbill Cafe, June 20, 2008, Washington DC.

THE CONCERT AT THE WARNER JUST LET OUT
THE GAME IS OVER AT THE MCI
THERE'S SMOKE ON THE RED LINE
GALLERY PLACE IS CLOSED!

AND I JUST FELT A RAINDROP FROM THE SKY
WE'LL NEVER CATCH A TAXI
OH, MY GOD!
EVERY PASSING CAB IS OCCUPIED

LET'S WAIT AT THE STARBUCKS
NO! WE SHOULD STICK IT OUT
YOU'LL NEVER CATCH A CAB IF YOU'RE INSIDE!

YOU GOTTA STAND ON THE CORNER WITH YOUR ARM OUT
YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND A TAXI IF YOU TRY
YOU JUST GOTTA TAKE YOUR CHANCES
AND YOU GOTTA TAKE YOUR STANCES
AS ANOTHER TAXI
AND ANOTHER TAXI
AND ANOTHER TAXI PASSES BY

GEE, THAT SEEMS A BIT SIMPLISTIC
IT'S CALLED BEING OPTIMISTIC!
CUZ ANOTHER TAXI ALWAYS COMES BY

THAT YELLOW BLUR SAILING PAST YOU WASN'T YOUR CAB
JUST ACCEPT IT AND KEEP REACHING FOR THE SKY!
CUZ YOUR DESTINY WILL FIND YOU
JUST LOOK FORWARD NOT BEHIND YOU
AS ANOTHER TAXI
AND ANOTHER TAXI
AND ANOTHER TAXI PASSES BY
NEVER BREAK YOUR CONCENTRATION
THIS REQUIRES DEDICATION
CUZ ANOTHER TAXI ALWAYS COME BY!

YOU WAIT AND WAIT
AND WAIT AND WAIT
LET'S MOVE THIS UP A PEG!
YOU WAIT AND WAIT
AND WAIT AND WAIT
I'M GONNA BEG
AND SHOW SOME LEG!

[MUSICAL INTERLUDE.]
OH, YOU GUYS!

IT MAY TAKE DAYS, BUT YOU SURELY WILL BE SPOTTED
IF ON FORTITUDE AND BACKBONE YOU RELY!
DESPERATION IS PREVAILING
EVEN MOTHER NATURE'S HAILING!
AS ANOTHER TAXI
AND ANOTHER TAXI
AND ANOTHER TAXI PASSES BY

BOY, THIS CITY SURE IS SCREWY!
HEY, THAT DRIVER DID A U-EY!
YES, ANOTHER TAXI ALWAYS
ANOTHER TAXI ALWAYS
YES, ANOTHER CAB
I told you!
ANOTHER CAB
Finally!
ALWAYS COME BY
AND BY AND BY
AND BY AND BY
AND BY AND BY AND BY
AND BY AND BY AND BY!
Bye...
