SALES TAX ON THE WOMAN

YOU MAY SALES TAX THE FLOWER, THE LARD AND THE MEAT
TAKE THE PENNIES 'WAY FROM ME AND MY PALS
YOU MAY SALES TAX EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE TO EAT
BUT DON'T PUT A TAX UPON THE GALS
--------------------------chorus---------------------------
ONE CENT, TWO CENTS, THREE CENTS IN CASH
THAT'S THE WAY MY MONEY GOES A SPINNING
BUT TAKE OFF MY HAT AND HIT ME WITH A BAT
IF YOU PUT THE SALES TAX ON THE WOMEN
------------------------------------------------------------
DON'T PUT THE TAXES ON THE GOOD LOOKING GIRLS
ALTHOUGH I KNOW THE PENNIES HAVE TO GO
WELL I WOULDN'T HAVE IT DONE FOR A HUNDRED BUCKS MORE
'CAUSE THE BOYS WOULDN'T STAND A BIT OF SHOW

I LOVE THE LITTLE GIRLS WITH THEIR LOVELY LITTLE CURLS
IF THAT IS WRONG I HOPE I WILL REPENT
I WOULD SURE BE SORE AND I COULDN'T LOVE NO MORE
IF I HAD TO PAY THE TAXES AS I WENT
