Taxman

Forums:

It's that time of the year again. Oh, joy.

One, two, three, four, one, two

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

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for
(Ah ah, Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Ah ah, Mr. Heath)
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for 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!)

I'm good until may 17. And that Stevie video is a goodie

 

It is a good one, OCLT. Too bad Stevie never covered Taxman. It appears that lots of other folks did though.

Taxman - although written by George, that's Paul ripping the solo

If Quentin Tarantino ever made a film about Al Capone, he'd probably use Junior Parker's version on the soundtrack.

The String Cheese version with Les is pretty cool too.
