Freezing on this corner
Waiting for a ride uptown
Really getting restless
Could've walked that far by now

And now it's after midnight
I need a fast ride
I got to get to you somehow
I got to be right on time

Right on the money
Right on time
Right on the money
Right on time
I can't be one minute late

I would've called a taxi
But I couldn't use a lady's phone
She would've gotten crazy
Thinks she's got me for her own

And now the stoplight feels like a spotlight
I've got to get to you right now
I got to be right on time

Right on the money
Right on time
Right on the money
Right on time
I can't be one minute late

[oh, I'm in the cold, and a,... Checker!]
[oh boy, you'd better be worth it]
