You Can't Take It With You

Dr. Hook

    Continues after the ad

    You can't take it with you 'cause you didn't bring it
    You can use it while you're here but when you go it's got to stay
    You didn't write the song you just learned how to sing it
    You may bring a little sunshine but you don't make the day

    These shoes that I own somebody else'll wear 'em
    And the road that I'll walk someone will walk again
    And the loves that I've known somebody else'll share 'em
    I'll just leave a couple of songs and things to a few well-chosen friends

    A few well chosen friends, a few well chosen friends
    We'll leave a couple of songs and things to a few well-chosen friends

    Oh now you don't have to tell me that I'm the first to love you, 'cos I ain't
    And I'm not young enough to think that I'm gonna be the last
    So I won't promise nothing and you just might believe me
    And let me sing one song with you before the band goes past

    Before the band goes past, before the band goes past
    Let's put it together and sing one song before the band goes past

    Oh you can't take it with you 'cause you didn't bring it
    You can use it while you're here but when you go it's got to stay
    No you don't write the song you just learned how to sing it
    You may bring a little sunshine but you sure don't make the day

    You may bring a little sunshine but you sure don't make the day

    Oh we can't take it with us 'cause we didn't bring it
    We can use it while we're here but when we go it's got to stay
    No we didn't write the song we just barely learned to sing it
    We may bring a little sunshine but we sure don't make the day
