Billy Jones' big yellow taxi

from Compound Analgesia by The Party Accident

/

lyrics

Billy leaves his little house
Quiet as a sleeping mouse
Gets in his car and slams the door
Starts the engine with a roar

Billy Jones' yellow taxi
Mustard coloured Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie

Off to the other side of town
Picking up and setting down
Sun comes out his shades look cool
As he drops the kids off at the school


Billy Jones’ yellow taxi
Mustard coloured Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie

Everyone knows Billy
He’s a familiar sight
Racing around the little town
Ignoring the red traffic light
Driving fast in his taxi
He’s so close he’s up your jacksie

No job too big, no job too small
Billy will do them all
Taking folk with early starts
Carrying people and spare parts
Delivering milk down to the beach
Places where the float can't reach
With several parcels stashed onboard
Delivering them for Marshall Ward

Billy Jones’ yellow taxi
Mustard coloured Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie

Round and round Billy drives
Before too long lunchtime arrives
For most the day stretches ahead
But for Billy it's time for bed

Billy's got a yellow taxi
Mustard coloured Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie
Billy Jones he drives his taxi
A big old yellow Austin Maxi
Drives so fast, wants to get past
So close behind he’s up your jacksie
