Taxman - Junior Parker

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
