Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cos 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)

'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for
(Taxman Mr. Clinton)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Taxman VAT)
'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman
And my advice for those who die
(Taxman)
Declare those pennies on your eyes
(Taxman)
'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me
(Taxman)
