Let me tell you how it'll be
There's one for you
Heh-mm, and nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman (I mean, it's rough)
Now, dig this
Should five percent appear too small
Just be thankful, heh
I don't take it all
The taxman is somethin' else, isn't he?
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
Now, dig this
If you drive a truck, I'll tax the street
If you try to fix it, I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat
And if you take a walk (Now, this is awful...) I'll tax your feet
'Cause I'm the taxman
(Mm, it's awful)
Now, don't ask me what it's for
Hmph, if you don't want to pay, and pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
Now, dig this
Now, my advice for those who die (This is awful, heh)
Beware the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yes, I'm the taxman
And you're working for me
No one, heh heh, but me
The taxman is rough
He can come and get you any time he wanna, heh
Can you believe he can come and get your old lady? Ha ha
That taxman is a trip!
