I gotta go to the taxi phone
I wanna call my folks back home
The taxi phone is the place to be
People come there just to stare at me
They come to stare at me In a while I'll hear the ring-a-ling
When they answer then my heart will sing
The taxi phone is the coolest place
But oops I gotta hurry
Stranger's in my face
A stranger's in my face (Hey) how's it going?
Can you hear me?
What cha say?
(Bye,) see ya later
Call you again another day
(Hey) how's it going?
Can you hear me?
What cha say?
(Bye,) see ya later
Call you again another day
Another day yeah Don't you know that
Women are huddled beneath the tree
I wonder why they sit around talkin' about me
A dollar a minute's the going fare
Talking to my family so I just don't care
I don't care So I walked a mile just to make this call
I'll take my time and forget them all
Booth number one has a private view
If you could just see what the people do now
If you could see what the people do Gotta go to the taxi phone
I wanna call my folks back home
The taxi phone is the place to be
People come there just to stare at me
They come to stare at me (Hey) how's it going?
Can you hear me?
What cha say?
(Bye,) see ya later
Call you again another day
(Hey) how's it going?
Can you hear me?
What cha say?
(Bye,) see ya later
Call you again another day
Another day yeah I gotta go to the taxi phone (taxi phone)
I wanna call my folks back home (taxi phone)
I gotta go to the taxi phone (taxi phone)
I wanna call my folks back home (taxi phone)
Repeat to end
