Story of a Taxi Driver

It was ten at night as I piloted my ship
My taxi was a Volkswagen from '68
It was one of those bad days with no fares
The sequins of an outfit hailing me to stop
 
She was a gorgeous blonde, in a miniskirt
Her plunging backline just to that "sweet spot"
A black tear rolled down her cheek
while the rear-view mirror said,
"Check-out those legs!" I saw a little more ...
 
It was ten-forty, zigzagging along Reforma
She said, "My name is Norma," as she crossed her legs
She took a cigarette out, the strange type
...that make you laugh
I offered her a light, fast, and my hand trembled
 
I asked, "Who are you crying over?" She said, "a guy
who thinks 'cuz he's rich he can just cheat on me"
"Don't fall for lovers; you've got to pick yourself up," I said
"Count on the man, if revenge is what you want," and she smiled
 
"What's a taxi driver doing seducing life?
What's a taxi driver doing creating strife?
What's a taxi driver doing in front of someone's wife?
What's a taxi driver doing with his dreams of bedroom delight?" I wondered
 
"I saw him hugging and kissing a poor little girl
She's of a simple class; I know from her appearance"
She smiled at me in the mirror, and sit to one side
I was idiotized, with the mirror steamed up
 
She said, "Turn at the corner; we'll go to my house
After a couple of tequilas, we'll see what happens"
Why describe what we did on the carpet
...if, suffice to say, I kissed even her shadow, and a little more...
 
"Don't feel so alone; I suffer, though it's not the same
Between my wife and my hours, an abyss has opened
How people suffer on both sides of the class divide!
You suffer in your mansion; I suffer in the hood"
 
She said, "Come with me; let him know I'm not alone"
She put her hair in a ponytail; we went to the bar where they were at
Just as we entered, he hugged a young lady
Look at how great destiny is, and how small this city is!
It was my woman...
 
"What's a taxi driver doing seducing life?
What's a taxi driver doing creating strife?
What is a taxi driver to do when a gentleman's plans coincide with those of his wife, in time and effort," I wondered
 
Since that night, they've been cheating on us
They see each other in the same bar...and the blonde hails the taxi
always at ten in the same place...
