Creedence "Fortuante Son" - really the whole song but these two lines in particular:

But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale

Been there, overcame that!
Another that I like is from Janis Ian's "At Seventeen":

The small town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise
When payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen
I dug out an old Jerry Jeff Walker LP the other day and was reminded of these lyrics...

"Now, I'm not sayin' she was a big chick or anything,
but one time I did ask her what size bra she wore,
and she said 6 and 7/8,
I said, 6 and 7/8, my God what'd ya use to measure it,
and she said,
a Stetson...."
