Taxman The ballad of John and Yoko Harrison Lennon / McCartney Let me tell you how it will be Standing in the dock at Southampton, There's one for you, nineteen for me Trying to get to Holland or France.

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat Finally made the plane into Paris, If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat Honey mooning down by the Seine. If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet Peter Brown called to say, Taxman "You can make it O.K., You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain". 'Cause I'm the taxman, Refrão Yeah, I'm the taxman Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton, Don't ask me what I want it for Talking in our beds for a week.

Fifty acorns tied in a sack. The men from the press said, "We wish you success, It's good to have the both of you back". Refrão
