They're the lads with the sea-going hacks equipped

The OPA desires the cabbies to adjust the pro rata

That's impossible, for cab prices in Central Park

The cabbies frock coats high silk hats and
carry whips for all emergencies Consisting mostly of
DRINKS who left their money in their other strait jacket
and who insist singing, "Hossy keep your tail up, tail
up tail hossy keep your tail up and keep the out

The Central Park hackbuteers swing wide hacka-
they tool their hackbarrows through the winding
lanes. But they stand for no hackneyed gags.
Their prices for cab service all the traffic will
bear. That's natural their passengers are mostly
DRINKS who hire the scoopedout tallyho because they
want to know how oyster feels the half-shel
