[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

[Bridge]
(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)
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 3]
Don't ask me what I want it for
(Ha ha, Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Ha ha, Mr. Heath)

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

[Verse 4]
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)
