Now F#hear this crowd of Bpeople; I man well F#vex and just have fe Bbig up me chest, 'Cos the F#Taxi Driver don't have no re-Bspect.

Chorus 1:
Taxi F#Driver, (dri-Bver), won't stop for F#me, (stop for Bme). When-F#ever I flag him Bdown, he won't stop for F#me. B Taxi F#Driver, (dri-Bver), won't stop for F#me, (stop for Bme). When-F#ever I flag him Bdown, he won't stop for F#me. B
Verse 1: (DJ Bumbo Brown)
In a-F#London city and Bin a-New York, There are F#no-go areas, Bafter dark. I say F#muggers on the streets and Bthief in the park, F# Tramps 'pon the sidewalk; a Bdem a-sky lark.
F# Some a catch the taxi, when they Breach their spot, Pre-F#tend to pay the driver and then they Bjust run off. Some a F#argue with the driver and say the Bfare ain't right, The F#next thing you know' they got a Bkitchen knife.
Chorus 2:
Taxi F#Driver, (dri-Bver), won't stop for F#me, (stop for Bme). When-F#ever I flag him Bdown, he won't stop for F#me. B
Interlude: F# B (x2) Break: F# (n.C) To hail a cab you got to be fast, You try to catch a taxi, but they just drive past. Verse 2: (David Dread)
The F#taxi-cab driver never Bstop for me, They got F#all kind of excuses Bup his sleeve. Some F#say they off duty; some Bsay they not free, The F#taxi cab driver never Bstop for me.
Be-F#cause of my dreadlocks, Blooking wild, They F#think I'm a mugger, or Bsome bad guy. F# No they never stop, they just Bpass me by, They F#treat me like a leper who's Bleft to die, yo!
Chorus 3:
F# Driver, (dri-Bver), won't stop for F#me, (stop for Bme). No F#care how I flag him Bdown, he won't stop for F#me. B
Break:
F# Excuse me mate, can you Bget me a taxi? F# B F# Is that the Bdriver? F#Boy... BJungle!
Interlude: F# B (x4) Verse 3: (DJ Bumbo Brown) F# (n.C) Well, I was walking with my son, who was just a child,
And still the Taxi Driver wouldn't give Bme a ride. F# (n.C) B F# (n.C) He was caught by the traffic lights, and had to slow down, B F# (n.C) So I opened the back door and sat my son down. B F# (n.C) So he tried his best to stop me from coming in, I say move yourself man, Band start your driving!
F# He was very angry, but he Basked; where to? I said F#take me to the station; my train Bleaving soon. So F#guess what he did to me, Bjust for spite; F# (n.C) He stopped at every single traffic light.
He F#took the wrong turn and the Blong way, too, He F#stopped at the bar, just to Buse the loo. When F#I got to the station, it was Ball in vain; Good F#golly, good gosh, I say, I Bmiss my train.
Coda:
F# Me kick up the taxi, me Bkick up the taxi, driver, F# Me lick up the taxi, me Blick up the taxi, driver. F# Me kick up the taxi, me Bkick up the taxi, driver, F# Me lick up the taxi, me Blick up the taxi, driver.
F# Not stopping, they're Bjust not stopping, F# Not stopping, they're Bjust not stopping, F# Not stopping, they're Bjust not stopping, F# Not stopping, they're Bjust not stopping, F# Not stopping, they're Bjust not stopping, F# (n.C) Not stopping, they're just not stopping.
