Lyrics Put a Tax on Love - Eddie Cantor

Put a Tax on Love

Listen, friends and Romans, let me have your ear
Would that I were home for just a day
I could settle all my country’s cares and fears
I’d call up my president and say
Tax your food, your coat and hat
Tax your income, tax your flat
We can do away with that
Put a tax on love
Taxicabs will have a clock
That will register the shock
Of the kisses on each block
Put a tax on love
Everytime you go and steal a moonlight kiss
Mark it down, because you’re gonna pay for this
Love a little, love a lot
Love that’s true and love that’s not
No excuse that you forgot
Put a tax on love
Give your Frigidaire a bend
Let’s go back when men were men
Bring the iceman back again
Put a tax on love
