Let me tell you how it will be
Theres one for you, nineteen for me
cause Im the taxman, yeah, Im the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I dont take it all
cause Im the taxman, yeah Im the taxman

If you drive a car, Ill tax the street,
If you try to sit, Ill tax your seat.
If you get too cold Ill tax the heat,
If you take a walk, Ill tax your feet.

Dont ask me what I want it for
If you dont want to pay some more
cause Im the taxman, yeah, Im the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
cause Im the taxman, yeah, Im the taxman
And youre working for no one but me.
