You Can't Get Away from the Tax

I would like to know
Why they blaming the Doctor so
Tell me I would like to know
Why they blaming the Doctor so
Well, one class of people fussing
While the other class cussing
Running they mouth like they take brooklax
Only blaming the Doc for they Income Tax
But I want them all to know
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Even if you leave and go
(You can’t get away from the tax)
To New York or Tokyo
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Oh yes, you could jump up high and low
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Even quite in Africa
(You can’t get away from the tax)
So you see, Doctor or no Doctor
(You can’t get away from the tax)
In th Virgin Isles
You got to pay taxes with a smile
In Purto Rico
If you don’t pay, straight in jail you go
Well in Cuba and Haiti
Taxes higher than salary
Don’t talk about New York and Caracas
You have to thief sometimes to pay tax
Even if your grandmother die
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Don’t care how you try and you try
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Believe me, even if you kneel down and cry
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Oh, Sparrow wouldn’t tell you a lie
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Oh yes, scavenger or inspector
(You can’t get away from the tax)
So you see, Doctor or no Doctor
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Here in Trinidad
Some people may think Dr. Williams bad
If they jump and ask
What’s the reason, they would say tax
They want to keep every cent
Making noise with the Government
Luckily for me I went out and see
That don’t happen in no other country
As long as you have but a job
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Oh, even if it’s two or three bobs
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Yes sir, stop thinking of running away
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Yes, now make up your mind to pay
(You can’t get away from the tax)
Oh yes, even as a tax collector
(You can’t get away from the tax)
So now you see, Doctor or no Doctor
(You can’t get away from the tax)
