There’s a red form coming after the blue form
That slipped into my mailbox the other day
Gave me one week time to settle to arrange a way to pay
For the bills sent by my lawyer
Who was supposed to help me out
Of the hands of my accountant
Against whom was raised some serious doubt
It all must have slipped my attention
I guess I’ve looked the other way
As I’m working for the funky dollar
Getting ripped off every day
Well I’m ripped off by the government
Robbed by the company
I’m swindled by my booking agent
Stripped naked by accountancy
I ain’t stealing from nobody
I ain’t never violent
I don’t use no trick or treason
But look at the mess I’m in
Yeah I’m caught in the act of having had
Too much fun last night
I’m convicted of a serious crime
Too much party time
Shake well before you use me
Shake well and twist that bottom
Shake well before you use me
Shake well and twist that bottom
Everbody just got to give a little take a little
Nobody knows what he’s gonna get
So we give a little more take a little less
Until there ain’t a darn thing left
There’s a green form that goes with the yellow
That automatically follows
When you didn’t ask for no form at all
But you definitely need the pink one in order to get back
What was taken in advance you’re gonna have to call
In case you die in the meantime go on a holiday
Change partners or buy a dog
There’s nothing we can do for you here Sir
I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do at all
