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. 
      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 the pennies on your eyes 
        `Cause I`m the taxman, yeah, I`m the taxman 
        And you`re working for no one but me.
