lyrics

YELLOW CAB

Taxi to Manhattan
sounds groovy, really groovy.
Taxi to Manhattan
sounds like the title of a movie.

That movie makes a backward
roll, back more than over 20 years.
Each frame is in my heart,
each sound still in my ears.

“And there is Queens,
and here a cemetery,
the skyline of Manhattan
is right behind, you see,
quite like a part of it it seems,

and here the bridge East river crossing
two dollar fifty toll is´nt it cheap?-
for New York city almost nothing.”

Yellow cab, the drivers name:
Rhees Muhammad
(its written there).
“Tourist, or longer stay, or stay forever?”
he asked and laughed and said:
“Lets start the New York city game!”
(Lyrics by Alfred Gulden)
