Song Parodies -> Taxing Time
| Original Song Title: | "Twilight Time" |
| Original Performer: | The Platters |
| Parody Song Title: | "Taxing Time" |
| Parody Written by: | Tommy Turtle |
For those fortunate enough not to have to pay US income taxes, each year's tax return is due on April 15th, a day Americans fear, not only for the burdensome bill, but also for the putrefying pile of paperwork required.
April fifteenth is soon approaching
It's taxing time
Uncle Sam all my cash is poaching
It's taxing time
When endless forms I'm filling
'Til the end of day
I fear it, oh dear, it's taxing time
Deepening debt delivers terror
In dark detail
Horrified lest I make an error
And go to jail
Why must we purchase software
Just to know the bill?
Go bankrupt at last at taxing time
Here in the schedules A to Z
We total up the score
To fund more war
Here in the muck of misery
I find I'm broke again
With stroke of pen
Parodies? Don't have time for writing
It's getting old
AmIRight thinks their site I'm spiting
If truth be told:
I'll be back April sixteenth; Share a song or two,
Together, but after taxing time!
Together, but after taxing time!
It's taxing time
Uncle Sam all my cash is poaching
It's taxing time
When endless forms I'm filling
'Til the end of day
I fear it, oh dear, it's taxing time
Deepening debt delivers terror
In dark detail
Horrified lest I make an error
And go to jail
Why must we purchase software
Just to know the bill?
Go bankrupt at last at taxing time
Here in the schedules A to Z
We total up the score
To fund more war
Here in the muck of misery
I find I'm broke again
With stroke of pen
Parodies? Don't have time for writing
It's getting old
AmIRight thinks their site I'm spiting
If truth be told:
I'll be back April sixteenth; Share a song or two,
Together, but after taxing time!
Together, but after taxing time!

Welcome back...timely subject...excellent job...tricky edge and inner rhyming...Sure don't enjoy tax time...but enjoyed reading this..5's
I always loved this old song and the Platters, too. It never occured to me to use it to write a parody about income tax - don't get me started on that. You did a good job in spite of being so busy.
You deserve a $555 rebate.
AFW, thanks, nice to be back, will try to return before jail term starts... 2Eagle, thanks, parody priorities, you know... PMS, thanks, I'll be checking the mail for that :)
I use the form 555EZ. Reminds me a bit of my "Cheating On The Form".
Good one, 555's.
Red Ant, thanks, saw "Cheating", 5d you there. Larry, thanks.
