Income Tax

Another long year on the job
Papa Government has my money in his coffer
I usually do things last-minute
But not my income-tax forms. That, that gets me going
 
Now1, it's been a few2 weeks since I filed them
I check my mailbox at least 4 times every day
Every day
Oh man what's this letter here that's just3 arrived
 
I just got my income tax return
Tonight the party never ends
I just got my income tax return
Tonight we gonna watch it burn
I just got my income tax return
Tonight the city never sleeps
I just got my income tax return
Tonight we gonna watch it burn
 
So then I take my phone and I call all my friends
I tell them that tonight we're partying until tomorrow
And not4 to worry about the snacks or the booze
Because my pockets are full and I'mma blow a fuse
I'm gonna blow friggin' $200 at Wal-Mart
(I'm gonna blow friggin' $200 at Wal-Mart)
I'm gonna blow friggin' $40 at Taco Bell
(I'm gonna blow friggin' $40 at Taco Bell)
I'm gonna fill my car up with friggin' supreme gas
(I'm gonna fill my car up with friggin' supreme gas)
I'm gonna blow friggin' $300 at the liquor store
(I'm gonna blow friggin' $300 at the liquor store)
 
I just got my income tax return
Tonight the party never ends
I just got my income tax return
 
Tonight we gonna watch it burn
I just got my income tax return
Tonight the city never sleeps
I just got my income tax return
Tonight we gonna watch it burn
 
I just got my income tax return
Tonight the party never ends
I just got my income tax return
Tonight we gonna watch it burn
I just got my income tax return
Tonight the city never sleeps
I just got my income tax return
Tonight we gonna watch it burn
