GST
Tax reform so they say
will increase our pay
but we'll pay through the nose;
so oppose — GST.
It'll be easy come
and then easy goes
as we pay through the nose;
so oppose — GST.
We don't wish to be rude
but it seems rather crude —
this tax on our food.
When all has been said
we're not fond of bread,
so the poor you will find
to get peace of mind,
eating caviar instead.
Tax reform so they say
will increase our pay
but we'll pay through the nose;
so oppose — GST.
With the tax man your friend
where will it end,
when you've nothing to spend?
You might like to try
for pie in the sky
but you won't want to die:
when that tax sets the pace
and funerals lack grace
so stay in the race.
It'll be easy come
and then easy goes
as we pay through the nose;
so oppose — GST.
A fellow I met
took his dog to the vet,
though full of regret,
he can't pay the bill yet.
I don't want to bore ya
but when I saw my lawyer
he said this'll annoy ya,
you're over the hill
adding tax to your bill
gives me no thrill.
Tax reform so they say
will increase our pay
but we'll pay through the nose;
so oppose — GST.
It'll be easy come
and then easy goes
as we pay through the nose;
so oppose — GST.
