Let me tell you how it will be,
There's one for you, nineteen for me,
ââ?¬Ë?Cos I'm the Taxman,

Yeah, I'm the Taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all,

ââ?¬Ë?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.
ââ?¬Ë?Cos I'm the Taxman,
Yeah, I'm the Taxman.

Don't ask me what I want it for
(Taxman Mister Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more

(Taxman Mister Heath),
ââ?¬Ë?Cos I'm the Taxman,
Yeah, I'm the Taxman.

Now my advice for those who die,
Declare the pennies on your eyes,
ââ?¬Ë?Cos I'm the Taxman,

Yeah, I'm the Taxman.
And you're working for no-one but me,
Taxman.
