Cab drivers! When they aren't opening up about sex in taxicabs or refusing to take you back to Queens, they're composing the next viral YouTube hit. But don't take our word for it. Just sit back and let driver Shahid Nawaz sing his Sexy Taxi Song for you.

Performed at the behest of a passenger, there really isn't too much to say about Nawaz's little ditty (which starts at around :51 if you have no patience). But we can guarantee that it will crawl into your ear, sink its teeth into your eardrums and not let go...as it has for us this morning. Sexy, sexy, sexy... do you need a taxi?

Want to sing along? We've quickly transcribed the lyrics for you right here:

Sexy, sexy, sexy Do you need a taxi? Sexy, sexy, sexy Do you need a taxi?

I'll drive, let's say
Do you need a taxi?
How I drive, let's see?
Do you need a taxi?

I'll take you Downtown
I'll take you Midtown
I'll take you Uptown
I'll take you crosstown
I can take you anywhere!
Even if you go to out town

Sexy, sexy, sexy
Do you need a taxi?
Sexy, sexy, sexy
Do you need a taxi?

You went to Paris
Ah, you visited London
You were in Mumbai?
Or were you in Dubai?
If you want to chill on
New York is the best town.

Sexy, sexy, sexy
Do you need a taxi?
Sexy, sexy, sexy
Do you need a taxi?

Staten Island Ferry Downtown
Past that building, Midtown
You are now on East Side
Broadway show on West Side
If you want a party?
Meatpack is the best side

Sexy, sexy, sexy
Do you need a taxi?
Sexy, sexy, sexy
Do you need a taxi?

Hey sexy, do you need a taxi?
