It’s “Declare the pennies on your eyes.”

Pennies were placed on the eyes of the dead so they’d have some money in the afterlife. The Beatles were commenting on the insane Brit taxation policies of the day, with 95% tax on incremental income (”one for you nineteen for me”). Declare them as income so they could be taxed.
