Joe le taxi - Joe the taxi (cab driver)


Joe the taxi (cab driver)
He doesn't go everywhere
He doesn't work on soda
His yellow sax (saxophone is a metaphor for his yellow cab)
Knows all of the streets by heart
All of the little bars
All of the dark corners
And the Seine (the "Seine" is the river that crosses Paris)
And its bridges that shine
In his car
Joe's music
It's the "rumba"
From old "rock" to "mambo"
Joe the taxi
It's his life
The rum with "mambo"
Traffic jam
He's like that
Joe - Joe - Joe
In his car
Joe's music resonates
It's the "rumba"
From old "rock" to phony "mambo"
Go Joe
Go Joe
Speed along
In the night towards the Amazon
Joe the taxi
And Xavier Cugat (I don't know who it is)
Joe the taxi
And Yma Sumac (I don't know who it is)
Joe - Joe - Joe
Joe the taxi
It's his life
The rum with "mambo"
Traffic jam
Joe the taxi
And the Mariachis
Joe the Taxi
And the "cha-cha-chi"
Go Joe
Speed along
In the night towards the Amazon
