about

In this demonstration listen for John's mesmerizing Uchi Waza work on a lap steel guitar.

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 maquina
I caught a 3-wheel wonder bike shaped just like a coconut

Coco Taxi
Conduciendo
Yo entiendo
Vamos a la playa
Koo koo taxi

We zipped through Havana eating peanuts out of little cones
Mani mani mani
The chicks were wearing tights while the men were playing dominoes
Honey honey honey
Mister driver what's the hold up dont'cha know I gotta shoot the curl
Sunny sunny sunny
And he just lit his cigar and he whistled at a little girl
Honey honey honey

Coco Taxi
Estoy en Vedado
Estoy enamorado
Vamos a la playa
Koo koo taxi

At the beach he wanted 10 CUC but all I had was 4 now
So he grabbed my board and he hit the ocean's roar now

Coco Taxi
Vamos a la playa
Con mi media naranja
Pies goofy
Koo koo taxi

10 CUC
10 CUC?
You're the kook!
