I Paid My Income Tax Today

I said to my Uncle Sam
"Old Man Taxes, here I am"
And he was glad to see me
Mr small Fry, yes, indeed
Lower brackets, that's my speed
But he was glad to see me

I paid my income tax today
I never felt so proud before
To be right there with the millions more
Who paid their income tax today
I'm squared up with the USA
See those bombers in the sky?
Rockefeller helped to build 'em, so did I
I paid my income tax today

I paid my income tax today
A thousand planes to bomb Berlin
They'll all be paid for and I chipped in
That certainly makes me feel okay
Ten thousand more and that ain't hay
We must pay for this war somehow
Uncle Sam was worried but he isn't now
I paid my income tax today

I paid my income tax today
I never cared what Congress spent
But now I'll watch over ev'ry cent
Examine ev'ry bill they pay
They'll have to let me have my say
I wrote the Treasury to go slow
Careful, Mister Henry Junior, that's my dough
I paid my income tax
