Taxman (Live Version) Lyrics
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 percent 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-car) I'll tax the street,
(If you try to sit-sit) I'll tax your seat.
(If you get too cold-cold) I'll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk-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 (Ha ha, Mr. Major!)
If you don't want to pay some more, (Ha ha, Mitternicht!)
'Cause I'm the taxman; yeah, I'm the taxman.
If I reduce it down, you see, (Ha ha, Boris Yeltsin!)
[I can] get back more with the V.A.T. (Ha ha, Mr. Bush!)
'Cause I'm the taxman; yeah, I'm the taxman.
(If you get a head-head) I'll tax your hat.
(If you get a pet-pet) I'll tax your cat.
(If you wipe your feet-feet) I'll tax the mat.
(If you're overweight, yeah) I'll tax your fat.
Now my advice for those who die: (Taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes, (Taxman!)
'Cause I'm the taxman; yeah, I'm the taxman,
And you're working for no one but me.
There's one for you, nineteen for me,
'Cause I'm the taxman; yeah, I'm the taxman.
Be thankful I don't take it all,
'Cause I'm the taxman; yeah I'm the taxman.
(If you try to sit-sit) I'll tax your seat.
(If you get too cold-cold) I'll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk-walk) I'll tax your feet.
If you don't want to pay some more, (Ha ha, Mitternicht!)
'Cause I'm the taxman; yeah, I'm the taxman.
[I can] get back more with the V.A.T. (Ha ha, Mr. Bush!)
(If you get a pet-pet) I'll tax your cat.
(If you wipe your feet-feet) I'll tax the mat.
(If you're overweight, yeah) I'll tax your fat.
Declare the pennies on your eyes, (Taxman!)
'Cause I'm the taxman; yeah, I'm the taxman,
And you're working for no one but me.
