Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Star Cab Company lyrics

rate me

My Mama drives a cab

For the Star Cab company

And when she's on a call

I'm in my own custody

Don't throw the meter, mama

She drives me into town

Every Sunday morn

Where I wash and dry the clothes

And mend or patch what's torn

Don't throw the meter, mama

My daddy's now long gone

He didn't like the married life

But he's tied the knot again

With a younger and smaller wife

Don't throw the meter, mama

Don't throw the meter, mama

My daddy's legacy

Was an old Dodge with a flat

A mountain of loose change

And a taxi driver's hat

Don't throw the meter, mama

My mama drives a cab

For the Star Cab Company
