Let me tell you
how it will be
There's one for you
nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
yeah
I'm the taxman
Should five per cent
appear too small
Be thankful I don't
take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman
yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car
I'll tax the street
If you try to sit
I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold
I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk
I'll tax your feet
taxman
'Cause I'm the taxman
yeah
I'm the taxman
Don't ask me what
I want it for
If you don't want to
pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman
yeah
I'm the taxman
Now my advice for
those who die
Declare the pennies
on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman
yeah
I'm the taxman
And you're working
for no one but me
