El Taxista

You know, I’ve had so many jobs
I was a dishwasher, waiter, and cook
Laborer and bricklayer, mechanic's helper
A jack of all trades, but now
I want to tell you about when I was a taxi driver
One day a young guy hopped in and said

Hey, driver, step on it
I can’t take it anymore without seeing her
Please, it seems, I’m going to buy
Flowers for my love

So I drove as he directed, and he was singing
I kept driving, yes, yes, yes, driving
And he was whistling, with his flowers

As soon as we got to the address
He told me to wait and ran to find her
After a few minutes, that lion I had as a passenger
Came back turned into the tiniest mouse and said

Hey, driver, go again
I messed up, this street isn’t it
(I asked) Where to then?
(He replied) Far from here, just go without asking

So I drove and he was crying with his flowers
I kept driving and he was tossing pretty flowers

So I drove and he was crying with his flowers
I kept driving, yes, yes, yes, driving and he was tossing pretty flowers
