Music by Telebob (Bob Clay)
I wrote this for a very dear friend, way back when he was still working the graveyard shift as an NYC cab driver. He later gave that up to write Hollywood musicals! :)
Many thanks...as well as cheers, twangs and hugs to Bob for doing it up so well for me!
Midnight
He’s a fly-by-night
Got an alter ego
Unfaltering radar speeds his car
Through city streets neon bright
Meeting greeting and transporting
Assorted travellers of the night
Chorus
He’s the Midnight Cabman
Honks his horn so you know he’s coming
Beware you harlequins and jokers
Two faced penguins and catwomen!
He leaves his cave
When the moon is rising
And soon he’s cruising the avenues
“Sure I’ll take you to
You’ll find my ride is so relaxing
Meet my sidekick, taxi- kitten”
Chorus
I honk my horn so you know I’m coming
Beware all harlequins and jokers
Two faced penguins and catwomen!
The rittmobile
Ain’t what it seems
Gotta teleporter for your dreams
D’you need a guiding hand somewhere?
The Sundown Saviour of the stranded
Will get you there if you pay the fare
Chorus
Honks his horn so you know he’s coming
Beware you harlequins and jokers
Two faced penguins and catwomen!
