[Verse 1]
Sarah's rushing through her business day
Meetings, travel, meals along the way
But she's missing something crucial here
That could save her money every year
Every coffee, every taxi ride
Every lunch where deals are decided
Without the proof, the tax man won't believe
What you spent or why you had to leave
[Chorus]
Keep, record, note, and tell the story
Four pillars of deduction glory
Keep those receipts in every pocket
Record your trips like you're a rocket
Note the clients and what you planned
Tell us who ate and why they're there, my friend
Keep, record, note, and tell
Documentation done so well
[Verse 2]
Michael's driving to Vancouver town
Client meeting, can't let them down
But if he doesn't write the reason why
His mileage claim will surely die
Business purpose must be clear
Who you met and why you're here
Every kilometer needs a story
Or you'll lose that tax category
[Chorus]
Keep, record, note, and tell the story
Four pillars of deduction glory
Keep those receipts in every pocket
Record your trips like you're a rocket
Note the clients and what you planned
Tell us who ate and why they're there, my friend
Keep, record, note, and tell
Documentation done so well
[Bridge]
When you're dining with a client
Every bite could be compliant
But the taxman needs to know
Who was there and why they came to go
Meeting purpose, business topic
Make your records microscopic
Names and reasons, crystal clear
Save you money every year
[Verse 3]
Lisa learned it the hard way once
Lost five thousand to the tax response
No receipts meant no deductions
Painful financial reductions
Now she keeps them in a file
Records everything with style
Business meals and travel too
Here's exactly what to do
[Final Chorus]
Keep, record, note, and tell the story
Four pillars of deduction glory
Keep those receipts, don't let them fade
Record each trip and why it's made
Note the clients, meetings planned
Tell who dined and why they shared your hand
Keep, record, note, and tell
Your documentation serves you well
[Outro]
Four simple steps to save your cash
Keep the proof before you dash
Canadian consultants, take this song
Document right and you can't go wrong
