I pay my gardener to clean up my garden
I pay my doctor to check out da other ting
I pay my lawyer to fight for my rights
And I pay my bodyguard to guard my body
There's only one man I pay
But I don't know what I'm paying for
I'm talking about the taxman [3x]
(CHORUS): [4x]
What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman
You take from the rich, take from the poor
You even take from me, can't understand it now
I pay for the police to, err...I don't know why
'Cause if my dollar was good enough
There wouldn't be so much crime in the streets
They tell me you're a fat man
And you always take and never give
(CHORUS TO END)
I pay my doctor to check out da other ting
