Line of oily rickshaws (5)

I believe the answer is:

lyric

'line' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of oily rickshaws' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'LYRIC' is hidden within 'oily rickshaws'.

(Other definitions for lyric that I've seen before include "Expressing poetical emotions" , "Melodic" , "Poetic lines" , "part of song" , "Poem - verse - London theatre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
