You Can't Take It With You When You Go

BERT COLWELL, LARRY CORDLE, LARRY SHELL

I got a friend who's a workaholic he never knows when to quit
Me, I knock off early every chance I get
He's got an I.R.A. for a rainy day ut I wonder if he knows
That you can't take it with you when you go.

While I'm out somewhere fishin' you bet he's workin' hard
My little boat's in the water, his big boat sits in the yard
And while I'm makin' time with that gal of mine
His love life's on hold, you can't take it with you when you go.

You can't take it with you when you go
You better take some time to live and love before you get to old
All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay ya low
'Cause you can't take it with you when ya go.

Now hard work it's a virtue and there's nothin' wrong with that
I ain't afraid to pull my weight but I ain't a-gonna break my back
I ain't worried about my bank account, just let the good times roll
'Cause you can't take it with you when you go.

You can't take it with you when you go
You better take some time to live and love before you get to old
All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay ya low
'Cause you can't take it with you when ya go.

All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay ya low
'Cause you can't take it with you when ya go
