Taxes here and there Taxes everywhere Taxes every place that they could be Though i'm getting by Still i can't deny There's a tax i know would ruin me I wrote my congressman a note I said if you want my vote
Don't put a tax on the beautiful girls How could i live without love You could tax my business and all that i own But have a little pity Leave my pleasure alone
What'll i do on a beautiful night If i should happen to fall Suppose i'm about to kiss a beautiful maid And she discovers that my tax isn't paid
Don't put a tax on the beautiful girls Or i won't have any lovin' at all
Every cent i make Tax collectors take They don't leave me with a single dime Though i'll get along Without wine or a song There's a tax i know would just be wrong It's not a luxury for me It's a great necessity
Don't put a tax on the beautiful girls How could i live without love You can tax my soda, i'll pay it somehow But don't you think the price of sugar's High enough now
What'll i do on a beautiful night If i should happen to fall Suppose i run into the handsomest lady The tax collector comes He says i know you haven't paid me
Don't put a tax on the beautiful girls Or i won't have any lovin' at all.
