But this is what riles me,

When churl Cabby will not see

A would-be fare, but just ignores him coolly.

Chorus.

"Hi! hi! Cab! Hi!" Oh, no!

On the sullen brute will go;

When he wants a fare, he's clamorous and unruly;

But if he wants a drink,

With a sneer or with a wink,

He'll rumble on and just ignore you coolly.
