You Can’t Take It With You

Lyrics

You might have a happy family, nice house, fine car
 You might be successful in real estate
 You could even be a football star
 You might have a prime time T.V. show seen in every home and bar
 But you can't take it with you
 ♪
 You might own a great big factory, oil wells on sacred land
 You might be in line for promotion, with a foolproof retirement plan
 You might have your money in copper, textiles or imports from Japan
 But you can't take it with you
 You can't take it with you thought you might pile it up high
 It's so much easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye
 ♪
 You might have a body of fine proportion and a hungry mind
 A handsome face and a flashing wit, lips that kiss and eyes that shine
 There might be a queue all around the block
 Long before your starting time
 But you can't take it with you
 ♪
 You might have a great reputation so carefully made
 And a set of high ideals, polished up and so well displayed
 You might have a burning love inside, so refined, such a special grade
 But you can't take it with you
