Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you
nineteen for me
Couse I'm the taxman
Yeh! I'm the taxman
Should be fixe percent
appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
Couse I'm the taxman
Yeh! I'm the taxman
Yeh! I'm the taxman
Oh! I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.
If you drive a car
I'll tax the street
If you try to see
I'll tax you seet
If you get too cold
I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk
I'll tax your feet
Taxman!
Don't ask me
what I want it for
Ha, ha, Mister Clinton
If you don't wanna pay some more
Ha, Ha, Mister Kohl.
So my advice
for those who die
Declare the pennies
on your eyes
Couse I'm the taxman
Yeh! I'm the taxman
Yeh! I'm the taxman
Oh! I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.
You say it's your Birthday
We're havin a Birthday
