Can’t Take it With You
Can’t Take it With You
Well, I sympathise completely but there’s nothing I can doI am just a humble servant with a message here for youWell, I know you have good reasons and there’s things you’ve got to doBut the boatman won’t be waiting and he’s leaving here with you
And you can’t take it with youNo matter what you doNo you can’t take it with youNot the place you’re going to
(One more mile, one more road, one last bridge, one less load)
Well, I sympathise completely but there’s nothing I can doI am just obeying orders, I’m a simple soul like youWell, you really are persuasive, but I’ve heard it all beforeAnd the boatman’s getting restless as he stands upon the shore
And you can’t take it with youNo matter what you doNo you can’t take it with youNot the place you’re going to
Can’t take it with youCan’t take it with you
