Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's meeting clients at the downtown café
Talking strategy over lunch today
She keeps her notepad ready by her side
To track the details she cannot hide
The date, the place, she writes it down
Every business meal in this busy town

[Chorus]
Date and location, names who came
Business purpose, not just a game
Amount and receipt, keep them all
Documentation saves you when tax time calls
Four little pieces, don't let them slide
Your deduction proof, keep by your side

[Verse 2]
Marcus takes his team out for dinner
Celebrating closing deals, they're all winners
He notes each person sitting at the table
Records the contract talk while he's still able
What did they discuss? New client goals
These business details play important roles

[Chorus]
Date and location, names who came
Business purpose, not just a game
Amount and receipt, keep them all
Documentation saves you when tax time calls
Four little pieces, don't let them slide
Your deduction proof, keep by your side

[Bridge]
When CRA comes knocking at your door
These four requirements are your armor strong
Date location names purpose amount receipt
Makes your business case complete

[Verse 3]
Every coffee meeting, every business lunch
Keep those records tight, don't rely on hunch
The paper trail will tell your story true
When audit season comes looking at you
Your smartphone camera, your expense app too
Whatever system works the best for you

[Chorus]
Date and location, names who came
Business purpose, not just a game
Amount and receipt, keep them all
Documentation saves you when tax time calls
Four little pieces, don't let them slide
Your deduction proof, keep by your side

[Outro]
Four simple steps, make it routine
Keep the best records you've ever seen
Date location names purpose amount receipt
Your business meal deductions, now complete
