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 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 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

 

Don't ask me what I want it for

(Ah, ah, Mr. Wilson)

If you don't want to pay some more

(Ah, ah, 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)

 

Songwriters: George Harrison
