[Verse]

SHE: If you wished to get
some attractive little pet
to yourself for awhile,
I suppose you'd choose
those canadian canoes?
HE: No a boat cramps one's style!
If you want to spoon
what a bout a big balloon?
that's a nice place no doubt,
SHE: But if you and she
don't in everything agree,
There's risk you'd fall out!
BOTH: If you really want a place
for an undisturbed embrace!

[Refrain]

Take her in a Taxy that's the thing to do,
You can talk in tenderest tone, she's there all alone with you,
If you want a charming, stolen interview,
Meet her with a Taximeter which takes only two.

[Verse]

HE: If the girl should coo
"I could drive along with you,
Just forever dear boy!"
Though it's kindly meant
ev'ry second cost a cent,
SHE: And the thought damps one's joy!
Still it is so snug
and the Lady you can hug
in seclusion profound,
HE: Till the chauffeur chap
has somme silly-ass mishap
and a crowd gathers round!
BOTH: Still we know no better place
for an undisturbed embrace!

[Refrain]

Take her in a Taxy that's the thing to do,
You can talk in tenderest tone, she's there all alone with you,
If you want a charming, stolen interview,
Meet her with a Taximeter which takes only two.
