Caro Emerald - No Charge lyrics

It's raining in Chicago and I know I'm late
I get into a taxi it's way past eight
He turned around and looked
At me with big blue eyes
Then he said good evening i said "My oh my"

Good thing he didn't hear me
Underneath my breath
The words came out so quickly
They coulda used a net
He drove me in his Packard
And picked up the speed
Smilin' like I'm falling
At the foot of his feet

He said "Here we are" put his hand and waved
To simply say "No charge" no charge

Tell me baby, what does that mean?
(No charge)
In an era where the coin is lean (No charge)


Are you loaded? Are you some kinda dream?
Whadaya mean no charge?

Another dinner party and the crowd's a bore
I've been there twenty minutes
Oh, I need to snore
But there was no escaping i'm pre-occupied
My chariot awaiting valentino inside

The rain was fallin' as I walked outside
Then in twenty seconds
I heard "need a ride?"

Tell me baby, what does that mean?
(No charge)
In era where the coin is lean (No charge)
Are you loaded? Are you some kinda dream?
Whadaya mean no charge?

Tell me baby, what does that mean?
(No charge)
In era where the coin is lean (No charge)
Are you loaded? Are you some kinda dream?
Whadaya mean no charge?
