| 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 percent 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! | |
| Don't ask me wat 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: | |
| Beware the pennies on your eye. | |
| 'Cause I'm the taxman, | |
| Yeah, I'm the taxman. | |
| And you're working for no one but me. |
