[00:23.614]Well she started out, just to be a dancer
[00:26.505]Gonna make her livin' dancin'
[00:30.525]In the Broadway shows
[00:33.586]So she hitchhiked cross the country
[00:35.613]From Pasaroba to the Big Red Apple
[00:40.247]Where your dreams are made
[00:44.504]Your debts must be paid on time
[00:50.792]Well she wasn't used to livin' in the city
[00:59.490]So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid
[01:09.670]At the Grammercy Park Hotel
[01:26.027]And all her auditions
[01:28.693]They didn't turn out so pretty
[01:33.395]So she took a job dancin'
[01:36.570]At the bar down the street as well
[01:41.121][Chorus:]I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
[01:44.231]And I'll listen to how your outgrew your dreams
[01:48.513]How they faded away
[01:52.088]I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
[01:57.623]We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage
[02:04.677]Well I don't know how long or how far
[02:13.374]Her fortune did take her
[02:19.727]But I heard she sits alone drunk
[02:32.518]In a bar downtown on 42nd Street
[02:55.691]And sometimes an old Butch
[03:10.101]Will slip a quarter into the jukebox

Well she started out, just to be a dancer
Gonna make her livin' dancin'
In the Broadway shows
So she hitchhiked cross the country
From Pasaroba to the Big Red Apple
Where your dreams are made
Your debts must be paid on time
Well she wasn't used to livin' in the city
So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
And all her auditions
They didn't turn out so pretty
So she took a job dancin'
At the bar down the street as well
I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
And I'll listen to how your outgrew your dreams
How they faded away
I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage
Well I don't know how long or how far
Her fortune did take her
But I heard she sits alone drunk
In a bar downtown on 42nd Street
And sometimes an old Butch
Will slip a quarter into the jukebox
