Lyrics

Taxman (Take 11)

One, two, three, four
One, two...

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, 19 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, car (I'll tax the street)
If you try to sit, sit (I'll tax your seat)
If you get too cold, cold (I'll tax the heat)
If you take a walk, 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
(Anybody got a bit of money, anybody got a bit of money, anybody got a bit of money?)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Anybody got a bit of money, anybody got a bit of money, anybody got a bit of money?)

'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
(Taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes
(Taxman)

'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one, but me (taxman)
