[ Featuring George Harrison, John Lennon ]
Let me tell you how it will be,
There's one for you nineteen for me,
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah-eh, I'm the taxman.
Should five percent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all,
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah-eh, I'm the taxman.
(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.
(Taxman)...
(Instrumental break approx. 12 secs.)
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah-eh, 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-eh, 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-eh, I'm the taxman.
And you're working for no-one, but me (taxman)...
