You can take the moon

Gather up the stars

And the robins that sing merrily

Put 'em in a box

Tie it with a ribbon

Throw 'em in the deep blue sea



You can take the flowers

Down in lovers lane

And that sentimental poetry

Put 'em in a box

Tie it with a ribbon

Throw 'em in the deep blue sea



Not for me, all that stuff

The dreams that ruin your sleep

Not for me, had enough

Love is one thing you can keep



You can take the plans

And the wedding bells

And whoever sings
