"Taxi Mary" is a pop song written by Jeff Burstin, Joe Camilleri, Tony Faehse and recorded by Australian musician Jo Jo Zep and Jane Clifton (who is uncredited on the song)[1]. The song was released in September 1982 as the lead single from Jo Jo Zep's seventh studio album, Cha (1982).
Joe Camilleri later said the song came at a time when "we weren't looking too good on the charts. I needed a hair transplant, I needed some work on my teeth, I needed platform shoes and to put my kids through University".[2]
The song peaked at number 11 on the Kent Music Report in Australia.
