Harry Chapin's signature "Taxi"--a real sledgehammer.
"oh, Harry -- you're still driving a cab? How positively droll! I'm married to a millionaire -- here's a large pity tip!"
I always get stuck on the line about the $2.50 fare - in NYC today, the meter *starts* at $2.50.
a couple more things to get stuck on:
- he calls it "Frisco"
- the falsetto / countertenor (?) passage. uuhhh...
what?but it's a good song. very powerful.
