Late Night Taxi Dancer - Peter Straker

We were cruising down the avenue

Doing twenty-five and then out of the blue…

…She said: «I don’t want no candy store

I wanna spread my wings and fly!..

I need some good old stormy weather…»

We drove around till we found a place

I didn’t know what to make of the smile on her face

But as soon as we stepped inside

I was lost, where to look?

I just wanted to hide!

She was a late night taxi dancer!

All she wanted to do was dance

And all the time I was sure it was romance

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye!

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye!

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye!

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye!

(She wild, she wild, she wild)

(She wild, she wild, she wild)

(She wild, she wild, she wild)

(She wild, she wild, she wild)

She was a late night taxi dancer!

She knew the place like the back of her hand (She wild, she wild, she wild,

she wild)

I wasn’t surprised to find that she knew the band (She wild, she wild, she wild,

she wild)

I hung around till a quarter to three (She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

I knew I had to go, she was through with me!.. (She wild, she wild, she wild,

she wild)

(She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

She was a late night taxi dancer!

(She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye! (She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

(Goodbye, goodbye for now!)

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye! (She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye! (She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye! (?) (? yeah, yeah,? yeah, yeah, ?)(She wild,

she wild, she wild, she wild)

(get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it!)

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye! (She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye! (don't need ya, I don’t need ya! I don’t need ya,

yeah, ye! babe!) (She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye! (Yeah, yeah, I miss you, I miss you but goodbye!

)(She wild, she wild, she wild, she wild)

(Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, bye!)

Bye, bye, bye, baby goodbye! (Goodbye!..) (She wild, she wild, she wild,

she wild)
