My mail has arrived
And it breaks up my grin
I’m reading with horror
What’s con-tained within
The I R S grip
Has my back to the wall
They’re grabbing me tight
By my jugg-l-ing balls...
(Comes the law - my bank to withdraw...)
So lets all think ‘bout the debts of a clown
Government tax see
Is makin’ me frown
Let’s just think of the debts of a clown
(Flaw in tax law is makin’ me blah)
Let’s just think of the debts of a clown
Red noses, I tells ya
Ain’t cheap anymore
Size 20 shoes ? What they
Aud’ting them for ?
Seems fake squirt joke flowers
About to haunt me
Must grab unicycle and
Far away, flee...
(Ring-a-lings won’t pay for my things)
Best, I think, if I gets outta town...
Those scum-suckin’ feds, see
Are breakin’ me down
Man, it stinks, with the debts of a clown
(P.T. Barnum - I cannot charge ‘em)
Makes me drink, all these debts of a clown
Flawed ol’ tax law is makin’ me blah
(fade)
And it breaks up my grin
I’m reading with horror
What’s con-tained within
The I R S grip
Has my back to the wall
They’re grabbing me tight
By my jugg-l-ing balls...
(Comes the law - my bank to withdraw...)
So lets all think ‘bout the debts of a clown
Government tax see
Is makin’ me frown
Let’s just think of the debts of a clown
(Flaw in tax law is makin’ me blah)
Let’s just think of the debts of a clown
Red noses, I tells ya
Ain’t cheap anymore
Size 20 shoes ? What they
Aud’ting them for ?
Seems fake squirt joke flowers
About to haunt me
Must grab unicycle and
Far away, flee...
(Ring-a-lings won’t pay for my things)
Best, I think, if I gets outta town...

Are breakin’ me down

Makes me drink, all these debts of a clown
Flawed ol’ tax law is makin’ me blah
