The Alan Parson Project Can T Take It With You lyrics

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
