LYRIC
I love doing my taxes
When each springtime comes, don’t you?
Instead of garden walks and ball games
I get to work my weekends too
How could I live without filing taxes?
Oh, what would I do with my free time?
Where would I go on a beautiful Sunday?
Good thing I won’t have to make up my mind
Subtract line six from line five, and if that’s more than zero
Then enter the amount from Schedule A line twenty-one
Multiply line seven by .03 and if that is smaller than .8 of line four
Then deduct that from your deduction
Isn’t this fun?
How could I live without filing taxes?
Oh, what would I do with my free time?
Where would I go on a beautiful Sunday?
Good thing there’s someone to make up my mind
My favorite part of filling out my tax forms
Is when I get to write a check for whatever is due
Cuz the government can get such incredible bargains with my money
Like a billion-dollar bridge or a forty-dollar metal screw
How could I live without filing taxes?
Oh, what would I do with my free time?
How could I spend all of my money?
Good thing there’s someone who can spend it just fine
For me
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me
