As a conservative Republican, April 15 is one my least favorite days in each calendar year. I imagine that it is the same for many of you faithful Banshee Blog readers. Therefore, I offer this extended quote of the day in order to lift your spirits. I have typed out the entire lyrics of the Beetle's "Taxman" written by the late George Harrison.
Everyobody, sing along:
Let me tell you how it will be,
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I'm the Taxman, yeah I'm the Taxman.
Should five percent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I'm the Taxman, yeah, I'm the Taxman.
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street.
If you drive to six, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat.
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
Taxman!
(guitar solo)
'Cause I'm the Taxman, yeah, I'm the Taxman.
Don't ask me what I want it for (ah ah, Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more (ah ah, Mr. Heath).
'Cause I'm the Taxman, yeah I'm the Taxman.
And my advice for those who die (Taxman!):
"Declare the pennies on your eyes." (Taxman!)
'Cause I'm the Taxman, yeah I'm the Taxman.
And you're working for no one but me.
