The Beatles
"Taxman" lyrics

Taxman

One, two, three, four
One, two

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

If you drive a car
I'll tax the street
If you try to sit
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
Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for
Aahh Mr. Wilson
If you don't want to pay some more
Aahh Mr. Heath
Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Taxman
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Taxman
Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working
For no one but me
Taxman
