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 per cent 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 your 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 those pennies on your eyes

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working for nobody, yes but me I mean over time, Sundays, holidays

In the grave, in the grave
