Lyrics Taxman - Junior Parker

Taxman

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you and nineteen for me
'Cause I’m the taxman, yes, I’m the taxman
(That man is rough; now dig this)
Should five per cent appear too small
Just be thankful I don’t take it all
(Taxman is something else, isn’t he?)
'Cause I’m the taxman, yes, I’m the taxman
(Now dig this)
If you drive a truck, I’ll tax the street
If you try to fix it, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk (now this is awful).
I’ll tax your feet
'Cause I’m the taxman
This is awful
Now don’t ask me what it’s for
If you don’t wanna pay, pay some more
'Cause I’m the taxman, yes, I’m the taxman
(Now dig this)
Now my advice for those who die
(This is awful)
Beware of the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I’m the taxman, yes, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for me and no one but me
The taxman is rough
He come and get you any time he wanna
Do you believe he come and get your old lady?
That taxman is a blip
