Can’t Take It With You lyrics

Well, I sympathise 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 sympathise 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
