Sixteen in the Pound
Sixteen in the Pound
Workers—
The law says a man must pay up his whack
If he's earned ten bob then some must be taxed,
You're health costs a lot so pay up and smile
If you want to wake up that old liver bile.
Chorus—
You take the Tee Ay Bee, what do they pay
If the favourite comes home then nothing but hay,
Sir Sidney don't call me because of these facts,
We owe our dough to the Income Tax.
Workers—
I was born one day in a hospital bed
The nurse came along from the Plunket, she said
Its time for your meal but before you dine
You get a stiff shot of our number nine.
Chorus—
You take the Tee Ay Bee etc.
