The Ledger Lines

Quarterly we meet the date (meet the date) Not one to evade, we state (we state) Check by check, our share we bare (we share our part) Revenue’s demand, our civic art (civic duty part) [Chorus: Barbershop Voices] Here we stand, forms in hand, under law’s directive And by command, our tax expands, in schedules so reflective [Verse 2] Line by line, we calculate (we calculate) Decimals aligned, can't deviate (no deviation) With every form, our patience worn (our patience tested) But we comply from dusk till dawn (from dusk till dawn) [Chorus: Barbershop Voices] In harmony, we file away, receipts and deductions clear United stand, with pen in hand, fulfilling duties of the year
