Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
(Refrain) 'Cause I'm the Tax Man, yeah, I'm the Tax Man
Should five percent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
(Refrain)
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.
Tax Man! (Refrain)
Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more.
(Refrain)
Now my advice for those who die
Tax Man!
Declare the pennies on your eyes.
Tax Man!
(Refrain)
And you're working for no one but me.
Tax Man!
