If Ten Percent Is Good Enough For Jesus (It Ought To Be Good Enough For Me)

In the style of

Ray Stevens

Lyrics

now i'd just
like to say
a few words right
here about taxes

i pay another man
to do my taxes
on account
of it's just

one more deduction
i can take
but the postman brought
my w-2 this mornin'

and this year
they're claimin'
a third of all i make

now i'm just as patriotic
as the next man
and you know i love that
red white and blue

so i'll help to pay this
risin' cost of freedom
but i'll be danged if i'm gonna
change my point of view

'cause every time
the bureaucrats
run out of money

well congress socks
it to the workin' man
and i don't think it's
one bit funny

when they take so
much of my money
and do things with it
i don't understand

i don't know
why they feel
they've gotta
squeeze us

but i'll tell you
just exactly
where i stand
i believe if ten percent

is good enough
for jesus
well it oughta be enough
for uncle sam woh

now some of them folks
that we've been sendin'
off to congress

think that all
they've got to do
is spend and spend

but you know you
can't run a family
much less a country
with more money goin'
out than comin' in

that old debt
just keeps on
gettin' bigger

and we're all gonna
have to pay
so don't you laugh

'cause one day soon
you might just
look down at
your paycheck

and figure out
that they
done started
takin' half

every time the
bureaucrats
run out of money

well congress socks
it to the workin' man
i don't think it's
one bit funny

when they take so
much of my money
and do things with it
i don't understand

i don't know
why they feel
they've gotta
squeeze us

but i'll tell you
just exactly
where i stand

i believe if
ten percent
is good enough
for jesus

well it oughta be
enough for uncle sam
i said if ten percent

is good enough
for jesus
well it oughta
be enough

you know times
are gettin' tough
it oughta be enough
for uncle sam
