Taxman

   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 percent 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 the 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.

   Don't ask me what I want it for, if you don't want to pay some more. Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman.

   Now my advice for those who die, declare the pennies on your eyes. Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman.

   And you're working for no one but me. Taxman!
