Lyrics
Chorus
There’s a tax on sugar
And there’s a little tax on honey
Why they even tax your money
It seems so funny when they tax your honey
And your money, too
There’s a tax on letters
Soon there’ll be a tax on stars above
Broadway farmers will be out of place
‘Cause there’ll be no chickens there to chase
Goodbye forever
If they ever put a tax on love
Chorus
There’s a tax on sugar
And there’s a little tax on honey
Why they even tax your money
It seems so funny when they tax your honey
And your money, too
There’s a tax on letters
Soon there’ll be a tax on stars above
All old maids who never had a chanced
Would grab on to anything in pants
Goodbye forever
If they ever put a tax on love
