Can t Take It With You lyrics

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 goin 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 goin to

Can t take it with you
