The IRS tip line
Oo, oo, I bet you wonder how we knew
How you didn’t report that million-two
It was a disgruntled employee
And we paid him a finder’s fee
And anyway your neighbors around the block
Are calling up the Tip Line around the clock
Call us up on the IRS Tip Line
If you are witness to a tax crime
If you want it, anonymous is just fine
We’re just trying to keep the cheaters in line
We’ll pay you money, yeah
(Call us on the Tip Line if you’re witness to a tax crime, baby,
doo doot doo doo doo)
People think they can hide from the government
But we know how your money’s spent
You know it’s really not that hard
To subpoena your Visa and Mastercard
Now you said you made only twenty grand?
So how’d you buy your girlfriend that minivan?
Heard it all on the IRS Tip Line
People telling us all about your tax crime
There’s a form that informants get on-line
And the number is 39-49
Get your money, yeah
(Call us on the Tip Line if you’re witness to a tax crime, baby,
doo doot doo doo doo)
Man, your girlfriend has just dropped the bomb on you
And your ex-wife is talking too
They know that unrequited love
Is avenged using IRS-dot-Gov
You thought you could shortchange the IRS
Now we have a warrant for your arrest
Call us up on the IRS Tip Line
If you are witness to a tax crime
If you want it, anonymous is just fine
We’re just trying to keep the cheaters in line
We’ll pay you money, yeah
(Call us on the Tip Line if you’re witness to a tax crime, baby,
yeah yeah yeah yeah)
