==Lyrics==
Max: Welcome to the new variety, sit and relax
I'm that song and dance phenomenon, Max!
Let me sing for you, do my thing for you,
'Till they give me the axe
Here's the song I'm doing, gonna fill you in on tax!
Tax is that familiar melody, simple and true
Hum it if you've earned a dollar or two
Bucks are being spent by the government for whatever they do
Anyone who earns a living gives more than a few
So our schools can be their best, 
So our roads will have no cracks; 
Someone fix those train tracks!
I hear you callin', Uncle, and I'm payin' my tax
Oh, these are my girls. Hello, girls!
Girls: Hello, Max. 
Nice outfit
There are many different ways we pay what we owe
Max: Ladies, if you'll form a lovely tableau
Girls: Income,
property,
sales,
utility 
Max: Candy bars in my show!
Girls: Licenses for dogs and cats
Max: And that's not all, you know!
Out of almost every dollar a person can make,
City, State and Federal governments take... 
Girls: Take what?
Max: What they think is fair you givin' your share;
Now and then there's a break
Max is talking taxes,
Hey, have I kept you awake?
Girls: For the things your town may need, 
For the things a country lacks, 
All good things take greenbacks 
Max and Girls: We hear you callin', Uncle, and we're paying our tax
Girls: People do complain,
Say their taxes are high;
What am I to get in return?
Max: Oh, look around you friend, 
Max is showin' you why, 
Max and Girls: With your taxes, you support how we live and how we learn
Max: Now here's the good news, Many things are tax deductible
Which means their cost can be subtracted from the amount of income you'll be taxed on
Things like medicine, doctor bills, and supplies for your work
So keep those receipts
Be kind to your parents at tax time
And remember April 15th!
Girls: April 15th!
What a showman you are Max
Entertaining us with tax, 
In those snazzy plaid slacks
Max: These slacks are for my business!
I tell you, I'll deduct them! 
I hear you callin', Uncle, and I'm paying my tax!
Girls: His tax, our Max!
Max: And I'm deducting my sax!
