[verse 1]
it’s a shame, it’s a shame
but we have we self to blame
it’s a shame, it’s a shame
but we have we self to blame
because we ask for new government
now they’re taking every cent
cost of living is the same
it is really a burning shame

[chorus]
because the doctor say to pay as you earn
but sparrow say you paying to learn
and me father say he sharpening the axe
for when the collеctor come to pay off the income tax

[verse 2]
plеnty people want to cry
they miss the water, the well run dry
but they can’t do a thing about it
the money ain’t going in the doctor pocket
first of all we want better schools
for your children won’t grow up as fools
then work for you and me
that is what plenty of them can’t see

all they know is

[chorus]
because the doctor say to pay as you earn
but sparrow say you paying to learn
and me father say he sharpening the axe
for when the collector come to pay off the income tax

[verse 3]
everybody is in misery
but this tax ain’t bothering me
for i am not working anywhere
so i have no income to share
but mr. this and mr. that
who accustom with they payroll fat
is to see them shedding tears
men like de freitas and fernandez

[chorus]
the doctor taking everything they earn
that’s why sparrow tell them they paying to learn
and me father say he sharpening the axe
for when the collector come to pay off the income tax

[verse 4]
when the doctor went up to england
they bluntly refuse to support his plan
so there is nothing he can do
than to get it from me and you
that’s the law now in trinidad
if you don’t like it, well that’s too bad
take your things and get out today
because all who working must pay

[chorus]
yes, the doctor say to pay as you earn
but sparrow say you paying to learn
even me father say he selling the axe
for when the collector come to pay the income tax
