I'm tired of working
For the crooked scene.
I'm talking about the taxmen.
They can sure be mean.
All they want is your money
If you make your name.
Mr thieving old taxman,
What's the point of fame?
I don't want you stealing off of me!
Please don't be stealing off of me!
The times I have money
I wanna pay my debts,
But his hand's in my pocket
Stealing what he gets.
Mr thieving old taxman,
Give me a break!
I'm entitled to keep back
Some of what I make.
I don't want you stealing off of me!
Please don't be stealing off of me!
In the midst of inflation
All around the land,
Stealing off of us workers,
Got to make a stand!
I'm holding onto my money
When you come around -
It may be a dollar
Or maybe a pound.
Please don't be stealing off of me!
I don't want you stealing off of me!
