THIS CAB’S FOR HIRE

Some go to work in the evening,
Some of us like working in the day,
We’re here to keep London moving,
300 years, and we’re here to stay

Cos you know when we’re hired
We always try and do our best
Cos in this town, we are envied by the rest,

Chorus:
They won’t kill the fire
They won’t kill the fire in our heart,
This cab’s for hire,
Whether it’s in the light or in the dark

I wish the traffic were clearer,
Radio’s on and I’m driving round this place,
Check everything in the mirror,
Gotta be smart with my clothes my hair my face,

Cos we ain’t getting nowhere,
If we keep quiet in a place like this,
Cos this set-up is so rare,
There’s a future I know there is,

Chorus:
They won’t kill the fire,
They won’t kill the fire in our heart,
This cab’s for hire,
Whether it’s in the light or in the dark

We’ll sit around getting older,
Unless we climb the branches of that tree,
We’ll get that weight off our shoulders,
Just stand together and let them see,

We run the streets of this town,
They’ve been trying to carve us up alright,
So, we gotta stay hungry,
No maybes, we’re ready and we’re up for the fight,
They’re gonna see some action,
There’ll be more than you get in a wartime book,
We’ll make no exception,
Won’t be letting them off that hook,

Chorus:
They won’t kill the fire,
They won’t kill the fire in our heart,
This cab’s for hire,
Whether it’s in the light or in the dark,
They won’t kill the fire,
Tryin’ to say that our little world is falling apart,
This cab’s for hire,
Whether it’s in the light or in the dark,

Whether it’s in the light or in the dark…
