Notes About The Poem

5/28/2025 for Ronnie James Dio Poetry Contest sponsored by Robert James Liguori 

The Killer Accountant

To Be Sung to the Tune of Man on the Silver Mountain in the style of Ronnie James Dio with Rainbow

I compute, I compute
I'm a meticulous brute
you can't stop me from filing
Cause I'm no fun, I'm no fun
But I get your tax done
The new tax code I'm learning

I wear bland attire
and lift your refund higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and save me money again
I'm the killer accountant
I'm the killer accountant

In the day in the day
I can show you the way
And look, I'm right beside you
In the night, in the night
you will not be uptight 
Uncle Sam can't see inside you

Write off your dryer
Lift my pencil higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and save me money again, 
I'm the killer accountant
I'm the killer accountant, hey, hey

Well, I can help you, you know I can
I'm the killer accountant
I'm the killer accountant
Just look at me and listen
I'm the man, the man, give you my hand
I'm the killer accountant
Write off your dryer, lift my pencil higher
I'm the killer accountant, I’m the killer accountant

Have no fear, no fright, there’s no audit - that’s right
I’m the killer accountant
