Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me

Should five per cent appear too small

Be thankful I don't take it all

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

Don't ask me what I want it for

If you don't want to pay some more
