Al Dubin - Put A Tax On Love Lyrics

(Verse)
Listen, friends and Romans, let me have your ear
Would that I were home for just a day
I could settle all my country's cares and fears
I'd call up my president and say

(Chorus 1)
Tax your food, your coat and hat
Tax your income, tax your flat
We can do away with that
Put a tax on love

Taxicabs will have a clock
That will register the shock
Of the kisses on each block
Put a tax on love

Everytime you go and steal a moonlight kiss
Mark it down, because you're gonna pay for this

Love a little, love a lot
Love that's true and love that's not
No excuse that you forgot
Put a tax on love

(Chorus 2)
Give your Frigidaire a bend
Let's go back when men were men
Bring the iceman back again
Put a tax on love
Married couples, have no fear
Though, at first, your tax is here
It gets less and less each year
Put a tax on love

Crooners on the radio must understand
That most of them have parsley yadda dya dya dya

Here's a law that lovers in the land will be endorsing
This is gonna stop a lot of fighting and divorcing
Sofas in the parlor will need lots of reinforcing
Put a tax on love
