The Beatles
Taxman (Take 11)
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
One, two... (One, two, three, four)
[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, 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
[Bridge]
Taxman
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
[Verse 4]
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?)
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
[Verse 5]
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!)
