"Taxi Mary" is a pop song written by Jeff Burstin,

Jo Jo Zep (pseudonym of Camilleri) and Jane Clifton (who is uncredited on the song).[1] It was released in September 1982 as the lead single from Zep's seventh studio album, Cha
(1982).

Camilleri later said that 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.
