Writing the parody lyrics for "Paperback Writer" got me to thinking about another Beatles song that has stood the test of time, "Taxman".
I thought you might be interested in my parody lyrics, and I thought you might be interested to see such a parody while it was under development.
Without further ado, the evolution of "Saxman" ...

Let me tell you most musically (Saxman)
About lead reed
No, let’s reboot.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Blah blah blah blah blah blah you see. (Saxman)
He plays heart out for you and me. (Saxman)
Cause he’s the saxman …
Ye-ah he’s the saxman.
No, that’s not right either …
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
No bass guitar or horns, you see. (Saxman …)
He blows lead reed for you and me. (Saxman …)
Cause he’s the saxman …
Ye-ah he’s the saxma-a-a-an ...
Not baritone. Not alto sax. (Saxman …)
He only blows the tenor axe. (Saxman …)
Cause he’s the saxman …
Ye-ah he’s the saxma-a-a-an ...
If you listen loud he’ll hurt your ears.
If you listen live -- he’ll calm your fears. < ------ Awful, just awful. Please fix.
If you play behind poor Britney Spears
If you blah blah blah as blah blah nears.
Saxman!
And he's playing for you and for me.

This one is really tough so it may be a few days before it freezes. I'm not proud of what I've got so far but it's a least a plausible start, and I'll post below with revisions as they occur to me.
In the meantime, anybody who would like to rescue what I've done here should feel free to post their own "cover" version of my parody. :D
