Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three, four
One, two
[Verse 1]
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
[Verse 2]
Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
[Verse 3]
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street (Car)
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat (Sit)
If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat (Cold)
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet (Walk)
Taxman
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
[Verse 4]
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)
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
[Bridge]
Now my advice for those who die
Taxman
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Taxman
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
[Outro]
And you're working for no one but me
Taxman
