Johnny Paycheck was the stage name of Donald Eugene Lytle (May 31, 1938 – February 19, 2003), a country music singer and Grand Ole Opry member most famous for recording the David Allan Coe song "Take This Job and Shove It".

Well you can tell the boys at the IRS this old boy hell I've had enough
The way the big man rakes it in the little man coughs it up
Well the bite keeps getting bigger and the pay check's a getting small
You know the IRS ain't gonna rest until they think they've got it all

They take out the buck from a lot of folks but honeys I ain't one
From now on I'm keepin' my pay ain't gonna deduct none
Take your 1040 forms and shove 'em
Straighten out their own damn mess
You can write me off 'cause I ain't givin' a dime to the IRS

Well how can I keep my hands on my woman
With Uncle Sam's hand in my pants
If I can't pay the fiddler how the hell am I gonna dance?
I don't mind kickin' into my fair share I might even back up and say yes
But the big man plays while the little folks pay so to hell with the IRS

They take out the buck from a lot of folks but honeys I ain't one
From now on I'm keepin' my pay ain't gonna deduct none
Take your 1040 forms and shove 'em
Straighten out their own damn mess
You can write me off 'cause I ain't givin' a dime to the IRS
Hell no

Yeah, you can write me off 'cause I ain't givin' a dime to the IRS
