I’ll tell you something, baby, that’s a fact

Never see a hearse  with a luggage rack

All your money, your hard earned pay

It don’t mean shit, babe, at the end of the day



Can’t take it with you, can’t take it with you

Can’t take it with you, can’t take it with you

Oh no, 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 when you go



As sure as life, and the light of day

I’ll tell you something I’ve heard them say

It don’t matter, baby, what you’re worth

Seems we all, we all go back to Mother Earth



Can’t take it with you, can’t take it with you

Can’t take it with you, can’t take it with you

Oh no, 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 when you go



Work all your life, you’ve become a slave

There ain’t no spending when you’re in the grave

Even if it’s raining thousand dollar bills

Think of me, baby, in your mansion on the hill



Can’t take it with you, can’t take it with you

Can’t take it with you, can’t take it with you

Oh no, 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 when you go



Can’t take it with you [repeat until end]
