Can't Take It With You Lyrics - Alan Parson Project

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 mile, one more road, one last bridge, one less load) 

Well I sympathise 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
