about

A pervy surf through Havana in a coconut-shaped taxicab.

lyrics

There's a long line for bread and a line to use the telephone
But there's no line for the waves in Havana on the Malecón
So I waxed up my board and I tried to flag a máquina
I caught a three-wheeled wonder bike shaped just like a coconut

Coco Taxi (conduciendo)
Coco Taxi (yo entiendo)
Coco Taxi (vamos a la playa)
Kookoo taxi

We zipped through Havana eating peanuts out of little cones
The chicks were wearing tights while the men were playing dominoes
Mister driver what's the hold up dontcha know I gotta shoot the curl
But he just lit his cigar and he whistled at a little girl

Coco Taxi (estamos en Vedado)
Coco Taxi (estoy enamorado)
Coco Taxi (vamos a la playa)
Kookoo Taxi

At the beach he wanted ten CUC but all I had was four now
And so he grabbed my board and he hit the ocean's roar now

Coco Taxi (vamos a la playa)
Coco Taxi (con mi media naranja)
Coco Taxi (pies goofy)
Kookoo Taxi

Diez CUC!
Ten CUC?
You're the kook!
