It's so very taxing
My tent is collapsing
I found myself one pole too short
So I phoned up the council
They said, You scoundrel
We're going to take you to court
North Pole South Pole, flag pole, bean pole
But there's one pole you can axe
It's the p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . pole tax
There's been infiltration
In this organisation
The taxmen are dressed as camp chiefs
Hogg'll ogle your tent
And you know what is meant
He's really just one more pole thief
North Pole South Pole, flag pole, bean pole
But there's one pole you can axe
It's the p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . pole tax
I'm cheesed off with camping
My spirits are dampening
My tent without poles is sod all
I want bricks and mortar
And hot running water
So I'll go and install at Rushall
North Pole South Pole, flag pole, bean pole
But there's one pole you can axe
It's the p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . p . . . pole tax
