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,
B
Wouldn't give me a ride.
F# (n.c)
He was caught by,
B
The traffic lights,
F# (n.c)
And had to slow down,
B
So I opened the back door,
F# (n.c)
And sat my son down.
B
So he tried his best to,
F# (n.c)
Stop me from coming in,
I say move yourself man,
B
And start your driving!
F#
He was very angry,
B
But he asked where to,
F#
I said take me,
To the station,
B
My train leaving soon.
F#
So guess what,
He did to me,
B
Just for spite;
F# (n.c)
He stopped at every,
Single traffic light.
F#
He took the wrong turn,
B
And the long way too,
F#
He stopped at the bar,
B
Just to use the loo.
F#
When I got to the station,
B
It was all in vain;
F#
Good golly good gosh,
B
I say I miss my train.
