Lyrics

(One, two, three, four, one two)

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 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

(Ah, ah, Mr. Wilson)

If you don't want to pay some more

(Ah, ah, Mr. Heath)

'Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advise 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!)
