Lyrics

- Hey Walter, we need some cigarettes
 - Lets go ahead and get a pack
 - Okay
 - Hello boys, what can I do for you?
 - I'll have a pack of cigarettes
 - All right, here you are
 - Be 3 cents more, though
 - What's that for?
 - Sales tax, haven't you ever heard of sales tax?
 - I sho' haven't
 - What's gonna happen next, man?
 - You know they gotta law here they call 'sale tax
 - Sale tax, what is that for?
 - That's 3 cent tax on ev'ra thing that's sold
 - They say that's the government rule
 - The governments rule?
 - Well, there's a-lotsa things sold that the government
 - Knows anything about
 - An I'll just sing a little song about these sales tax
 These times now, ain't through to me
 Pony carts spend a dollar three
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 The sales tax is on it
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Ev'rywhere you go
 Olan Marshall live behind the jails
 A sign on the wall sayin', Liquor for Sale
 You know the sales tax is on it
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Ev'rywhere you go
 I've never seen the likes
 Since I've been born
 The women's got sales tax
 On their stuff at home
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Oh, sales tax is on it
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Ev'rywhere you go
 You know these sales tax is a pain
 You used-a could buy for a dollar a round
 Now sales tax is on it all over town
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Oh, sales tax is on it
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Ev'rywhere you go
 I'm as lovin' now, as a woman can be
 The stuff I've got'll cost ya a dollar and three
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Oh, sales tax is on it
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Ev'rywhere you go
 Now, you may take me to be a fool
 Ev'rything is sold by the government's rule
 Oh, you know the sales tax is on it
 Oh, sales tax is on it
 Oh, the sales tax is on it
 Ev'rywhere you go
