To a twelve bar beat. With feeling.
(Use basic blues chord progression in key to suit)

I woke up this morning, it was tax deadline day
Got to finish my return. ‘No problem’ you say
Just get on that computer, go and surf up the web
Don’t file with paper, use that 'SA Online' instead

So I dig out that pincode, ‘Where’s that password been put?’
Look out that P60, and my building society passbook
Grab those dividend vouchers, check out my P11D
There’s plenty of time yet, perhaps I’ll have a break and a nice cup of tea

Get back to my desk and put numbers in boxes
Just click onto 'send', but now here’s something that foxes.
Nothing seems to be happening. Now I really got the blues!
Clicking send again and again now. I can’t believe that it’s true!!

I just get this message. ‘Error 404 – not found’
My return should be flying, not stuck here on the ground!
I don’t want to be ‘redirected’, don’t care bout ‘safe and secure’
Just want to send off my return and keep my penalty record pure.

I don’t care about encryption levels. Let’s try pressing send again
I’d sell my soul to the devil to get my tax return sent
So it’s down to the crossroads, to the offices of that old HMRC
What do you mean you closed at 4.30? That’s no *&^$!!”#! use to me!

And there’s no $”%^&””!! postbox. Security measures have gone mad
I got the tax return blues. Man, I got them real bad
So I sit on the kerb, with my head in my hands
Any chance of a deadline extension, Mr HM Revenue and Customs man?
