The Tax Return Song

O.K., here’s a little song I wrote, which I think would make a great campaign video if somebody knows how to do those sorts of things.  I picture somebody,  or maybe a couple of people, who can actually sing and maybe play guitar in the front, with a chorus of people in the back, while various illustrations pop up, line for line.

It’s to the tune of “Hide Your Love Away” by the Beatles.

Did you get the amnesty,
for Swiss Bank accounts 2009
it wouldn’t be a felony
as long as you paid the fine
Or could it be something small
That really shouldn’t count
Like if you had to pay at all
It was a small amount
Why! Do you have to hide your tax returns?
What! Horrible things would we all learn?
Did you try to falsify
Your place of residence
Or were there some other lies
In those documents
Could there be some gaps in time
That you can’t explain
Or, perhaps, there were some crimes
In your tenure at Bain
Why! Do you have to hide your tax returns?
What! Horrible things would we all learn?
Could it be you think that we
The lowly, working class
Do not have the right to see
How you made your cash
Could it be the Mormon Church
Is not getting it’s full 10 percent
Would you give up being a god
Just to be president
Why! Do you have to hide your tax returns?
What! Horrible things would we all learn?
