Lyrics

[00:09.14] You might have a happy family nice house fine car
[00:15.21]
[00:16.14] You might be successful in real estate
[00:19.27] You could even be a football star
[00:23.64] You might have a prime time TV show
[00:26.45] Seen in every home and bar
[00:29.70] But you can't take it with you
[00:34.14]
[00:38.21] You might own a great big factory
[00:41.28] Oil wells on sacred land
[00:44.07]
[00:45.39] You might be in line for promotion
[00:48.61] With a foolproof retirement plan
[00:52.18]
[00:52.86] You might have your money in copper
[00:55.77] Textiles or imports from Japan
[00:59.14] But you can't take it with you
[01:03.68]
[01:05.87] You can't take it with you
[01:08.99] Though you might pile it up high
[01:12.68]
[01:13.31] It's so much easier for a camel
[01:18.34] To pass through a needle's eye
[01:26.04] You might have a body of fine proportion and a hungry mind
[01:31.47]
[01:33.48] A handsome face and a flashing wit
[01:36.35] Lips that kiss and eyes that shine
[01:39.41]
[01:40.41] There might be a lot all around the block
[01:43.68] Long before your starting time
[01:46.93] But you can't take it with you
[01:52.38]
[01:53.64] You can't take it with you
[01:56.84] Though you might pile it up high
[02:01.18] It's so much easier for a camel
[02:05.87] To pass through a needle's eye
[02:12.61]
[02:13.74] You might have a great reputation so carefully made
[02:20.01]
[02:21.56] And a set of high ideals
[02:24.51] Polished up and so well displayed
[02:27.75]
[02:28.69] You might have a burnin' love inside
[02:32.01] So refined such a special grade
[02:35.14] But you can't take it with you
[02:39.37]
[02:40.18] No you can't take it with you
[02:45.05]
[02:45.68] No no you can't take it with you
