A black cavalcade winds its way through the back streets Flowers piled high on a wooden box With friends and relations sat in rows in the back seats All looking shaky cos it came as a shock A black cavalcade winds its way through the back streets Some poor soul took his final taxi
And there's only one destination in the final taxi
Up through the town to the garden of rest Riding in style in a long wooden box No fare on the meter they'll be paying by cheque - This is one fare you won't see up on the clock Riding in style in a long wooden box Some poor soul took his final taxi
And there's only one destination in the final taxi Only one destination in the final taxi Only one destination Only one destination Only one destination Only one destination There's only one destination in the final taxi
They lowered him down into a hole in the ground Threw in the flowers and shovelled earth on the top Then the cars pulled away from the garden of rest For a funeral tea with twenty five guests The cars pulled away for the funeral tea Cos some poor soul took his final taxi
And there's only one destination in the final taxi...
