Got into a cab in New York City   Was an Oriental man behind the wheel   Started talking about heaven like it was real   Said, "They got mansions in heaven   Yeah, the angels are building one for me right now      And I know they're saving the best for last   Look around this town and tell me that it ain't so   They're saving the best for last   Don't ask me how I know 'cause it must be   Saving the best for last for me"      You can go a hundred miles a second   Don't have to drive no lousy cab   Got everything you want and more man   And the King picks up the tab   You walk around on streets of gold all day   And you never have to listen to what these customers say      And I know they're saving the best for last   Look around this town and tell me that it ain't so   They must be saving the best for last   Don't ask me how I know 'cause it must be   Saving the best for last for me   Oh, saving the best for last for me      But I remember when I was a child   Lost in the streets of Chinatown   My mother had a vision and I was found   Saving the best for last for me   Oh oh, saving the best for last      And when I finally take this journey   I'm gonna wave goodbye to Earth   Gonna throw this meter in the ocean   And prove what I was worth   And I don't care who tries to flag me down   They're gonna have to find another ride uptown      'Cause I know they must be saving the best for last   Man, I look around this town so don't tell me that it ain't so   They're just saving the best for last   Don't ask me how I know 'cause it must be   Saving the best for last for me   Oh, saving the best for last for me   Oh, saving the best for last for me      Saving the best   Saving the best for last   Saving the best   Saving the best for last   Saving the best
