Lead vocal: dean ford
Well i sympathise 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 mileone more roadone last bridgeone less load
Well i sympathise completely but there s nothing i can do
I am just obeying ordersi m a simple soul like you
Well you really are persuasivebut 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
