I got a friend who's a workaholic, he never knows when to quit Well, Me, I knock off early every chance I get He's got an I.R.A. for a rainy day but I wonder if he knows That you can't take it with you when you go While I'm out somewhere fishin', you bet he's workin' hard My little boat's in the water, his big boat sits in the yard And while I'm makin' time with that gal of mine His love life's on hold, you can't take it with you when you go You can't take it with you when you go You better take some time to live and love before you get too old All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay you low 'Cause you can't take it with you when you go Now hard work it's a virtue and there's nothin' wrong with that I ain't afraid to pull my weight but I ain't gonna break my back I ain't worried about my bank account, just let the good times roll You can't take it with you when you go You can't take it with you when you go You better take some time to live and love before you get to old All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay you low 'Cause you can't take it with you when you go All the treasures in this world don't mean a thing when they lay you low 'Cause you can't take it with you when you go...
