(Taxman)
One, two, three, four
One, two (one, two, three, four)
There are two things certain in life
That’s death and taxes just ask my wife
Beware the reaper
Yeah, the reaper
And when your back's against the wall
Realize you can't take it all
Beware the reaper
Yeah, the reaper
(Can’t drive a car, car) your car's been sold
(Can’t comb your hair, hair) you’re much too bald
(Cant get too warm, warm) you’re much too cold
(Can’t take a walk, walk) you’re much too old
(Reaper)
Beware the reaper
Yeah, the reaper
Can’t take it with you when your dead
(Ah, ah, Allan Matthews)
Yes, that’s what the taxman said
(Ah, ah, ATO)
Beware the reaper
Yeah, the reaper
Now my advice for those who die (reaper)
Declare the pennies on your eyes (reaper)
Beware the reaper
Yeah, the reaper
And you're working for no one but me (reaper)
