‘The Taxman’ by The Beatles
Lyrics
Author: George Harrison
- 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.
