You can't take it with you 'cause you didn't bring
it You can use it while you're here but when you
go it's got to stay You didn't write the song you
just learned how to sing it You may bring a little
sunshine but you don't make the day

These shoes that I own somebody else'll wear 'em
And the road that I'll walk someone will walk
again And the loves that I've known somebody
else'll share 'em I'll just leave a couple of
songs and things to a few well-chosen friends

A few well chosen friends, a few well chosen
friends We'll leave a couple of songs and things
to a few well-chosen friends

Oh now you don't have to tell me that I'm the
first to love you, 'cos I ain't And I'm not young
enough to think that I'm gonna be the last So I
won't promise nothing and you just might believe
me And let me sing one song with you before the
band goes past

Before the band goes past, before the band goes
past Let's put it together and sing one song
before the band goes past

Oh you can't take it with you 'cause you didn't
bring it You can use it while you're here but when
you go it's got to stay No you don't write the
song you just learned how to sing it You may bring
a little sunshine but you sure don't make the day

You may bring a little sunshine but you sure don't
make the day

Oh we can't take it with us 'cause we didn't bring
it We can use it while we're here but when we go
it's got to stay No we didn't write the song we
just barely learned to sing it We may bring a
little sunshine but we sure don't make the day
