Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you nineteen for me
'Cos I'm the taxman Yeah I'm the taxman
Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cos I'm the taxman Yeah I'm the taxman
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
If you take a walk I'll tax your feet Taxman!
'Cos 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)
'Cos I'm the taxman
Yeah I'm the taxman
Now my advice for those who die (Taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes (Taxman!)
'Cos I'm the taxman Yeah I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me
