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
