I feel so good, come payday
I think of all the things
When I pick up my weekly pay
Then they hand me that little brown envelope
I peep inside and, Lord, I lose all hope
Cause from that total wages earned down
to that net amount that's due
I feel a painful sense of loss
Aftertax, there goes that
Aftertax, there goes that
After tax, there goes the
about all that you can do
Cause by the time your good old
You can buy a honey pair of hoes,
a little pounder for a tiny nose
And take a down at Sloppy Joe's
Them are the facts, after tax, after tax
But by the time your good old
You've got just enough forecasts
to see them pretty slivers pass
And if you get back home first class,
After tax, there goes that
After tax, there goes that new
Aftertax, it was a brand new Zodiac,
Aftertax, taking the shirt
Aftertax, look at this thing
After tax, to Mallorca we can go.
