I do not like it, Uncle Sam

For thirty years, various Internal Revenue agents have been trying to cajole, persuade, threaten or coerce me into paying taxes, even though I keep saying to them:

      Listen,
      I do not like to pay for arms,
      I do not like to do much harm.
      I do not like it, Uncle Sam;
      I do not like green eggs and ham.

And they say to me:

      Try it, try it, just this year;
      Try it, try it, have no fear.
      Try it now the war is ended.
      Or your judge may be offended.
      Withholding makes it very easy
      to still your conscience when it's queasy.
      You will like it once you pay.
      You will do it every day.
      Pay your taxes like other folks;
      We are tired of your jokes.

And I say to them:

      I will not let you take my pay;
      I will not stand it for a day.
      I will not pay you with a check;
      I will not pay this year or next.
      I will not pay, I will not budge,
      I will not pay them to a judge;
      I will not pay them through the mails;
      I will not pay them in a jail.
      Sort through your tons of canvas sacks;
      You will not find my income tax.
      I do not like to pay for arms.
      I do not like to do much harm;
      I do not like it Uncle Sam;
      I do not like green eggs and ham.
