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 the heat
If you take a walk
I'll tax your feet
Taxman
Taxman
Don't ask me what I want it for
Ha, ha, Mr. Wilson
If you don't want to pay some more
Ha, ha, Mr. Heath
I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
