Can't Take It With You

Well, I sympathize completely

But there's nothing I can do

I am just a humble servant

With a message here for you

Well, I know you have good reasons

And there's things you've got to do

But the boatman won't be waiting

And he's leaving here with you

And you can't take it with you

No matter what you do

No, you can't take it with you

Not the place you're going to

(One more mile)

(One more road)

(One last bridge)

(One less load)

Well, I sympathize completely

But there's nothing I can do

I am just obeying orders

I'm a simple soul like you

Well, you really are persuasive

But I've heard it all before

And the boatman's getting restless

As he stands upon the shore

And you can't take it with you

No matter what you do

No, you can't take it with you

Not the place you're going to

(Can't take it with you)

(Can't take it with you)

(Can't take it with you)

(Can't take it with you)
