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 going 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 going to
(Can't take it with you)
(Can't take it with you)
(Can't take it with you)
(Can't take it with you)
(Can't take it with you)
