Nighthawkin'

I was a nighthawkin' in my taxi
My fare was a shaky ol' lush
So I kicked it over and took off
Then he whipped out this switch blade
Straight outta nowhere level to my throat
He said ";See reb I've been over to the war boy";
I said ";I was a combat paratrooper daddy";
Well now he slupped back cool and he pocket that steel
He said ";Get me down to fourth and main";
