Put 'Em In a Box, Tie 'Em With a Ribbon [And Throw 'Em In the Deep Blue Sea] lyrics

You can take the moon, gather up the stars

And the robin that sings merrily

Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon

And throw 'em in the deep blue sea

You can take the flowers down in lovers' lane

And that sentimental poetry

Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon

And throw 'em in the deep blue sea

Not for me, all that stuff

The dreams that ruin your sleep

Not for me, had enough

Love is one thing you can keep

You can take the plans and the wedding bells

And whoever sings "Oh promise me"

Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon

And throw 'em in the deep blue sea

'Cause love and I, we don't agree

Not for me, all that stuff

The dreams that ruin your sleep

Not for me, had enough

Love is one thing you can keep in your ice box

You know what to do with that "tea for two"

And "the boy for you, the girl for me"

Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon

And throw 'em in the deep blue sea

Hansoms through the park, kisses in the dark

All the promises made faithfully

Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon

And throw 'em in the deep blue sea
