Taxman

[Intro]

And you're working for no one but me

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 1]

Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me

[Hook]

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 2]

Should five per cent appear too small

Be thankful I don't take it all

[Hook]

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 3]

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

And you're working for no one but me

[Hook]

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 4]

Don't ask me what I want it for

(Taxman, Mr. Wilson)

If you don't want to pay some more

(Taxman, Mr. Heath)

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 5]

Now my advice for those who die

Declare the pennies on your eyes

[Hook]

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 3]

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

Could you pay your taxes?

And you're working for no one but me

[Hook]

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

Could you pay your taxes?
