Cover art for Joe Le Taxi lyrics by Vanessa Paradis

yep, that's basically it! here's a translation - its such a cute song!

Joe the taxi (cab driver) He doesn't go everywhere He doesn't work on soda His yellow sax (saxophone is a metaphor for his yellow cab) Knows all of the streets by heart All of the little bars All of the dark corners And the Seine
And its bridges that shine In his car Joe's music It's the "rumba" From old "rock" to "mambo" Joe the taxi It's his life The rum with "mambo" Traffic jam He's like that Joe - Joe - Joe In his car Joe's music resonates It's the "rumba" From old "rock" to phony "mambo" Go Joe Go Joe Speed along In the night towards the Amazon Joe the taxi And Xavier Cugat (famous musician apparently?) Joe the taxi And Yma Sumac (musician again?) Joe - Joe - Joe Joe the taxi It's his life The rum with "mambo" Traffic jam Joe the taxi And the Mariachis Joe the Taxi And the "cha-cha-chi" Go Joe Speed along In the night towards the Amazon
