Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)You might have a happy family, nice house, fine carYou might be successful in real estateYou could even be a football starYou might have a prime time T.V. show seen in every home and barBut you can't take it with youYou might own a great big factory, oil wells on sacred landYou might be in line for promotion, with a foolproof retirement planYou might have your money in copper, textiles or imports from JapanBut you can't take it with youYou can't take it with you though you might pile it up highIt's so much easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eyeYou might have a body of fine proportion and a hungry mindA handsome face and a flashing wit, lips that kiss and eyes that shineThere might be a queue all around the blockLong before your starting timeBut you can't take it with youYou might have a great reputation so carefully madeAnd a set of high ideals, polished up and so well displayedYou might have a burning love inside, so refined, such a special gradeBut you can't take it with you
