A Number 1, a number 2, a number 3, a number 4

Make a decision — (1, 2, 3, 4!)

Hurry up, you are my 4th cut of the day

But before you decide please take this story away

In all my 68 years I have learnt one thing

For 48 years they have tried to make Mr Cuong do something

12,500 dong for you and 37,500 dong for me

Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

If 35% appears too small

Thank me that I don't take it all

Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

If you take a breath, I'll tax the air

If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat

If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet

If you take a beer, I'll tax your glass

If you meet a girl, I’ll tax her ass

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street

If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat

Taxman

Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

You don’t have the right to ask me what I want it for

Then again, you may have seen the ministers driving round in new 4 by 4’s

Do you mind if I ask one thing…

Can you pay more taxes in the name of the king

Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die

Don’t leave anything behind for your sweetie pie 

They best kiss it all goodbye

Cause I'm the taxman

Yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one but me…I’m the Taxman!

…so is that a number 1 or a number 2?!

(Adaptation “Taxman” - The Beatles)
