Taxman Songtext
von George Harrison

One, two, three, four
One two (One, two, three, four!)

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
(Ah-ah, Mr. Major)
If you don′t want to pay some more
(Ah-ah, Mr. Heath)
'Cause I′m the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

If I reduce it, can you see?
(Ah-ah, Boris Yeltzin)
Get back more with the V.A.T.
(Ah-ah, Mr. Bush)
′Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I′m the taxman

(If you get a hat hat) I'll tax your hat
(If you get a cat cat) I'll tax your cat
(If you wipe your feet feet) I′ll tax the mat
(If you′re overweight) I'll tax your fat

Now my advise to 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
(Taxman!)


Yes, I′m the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
