Can't Take It With You

Well now the Lord said to Abraham
"I got a little job right here for you
It's nothing that no daddy
In his right mind would want to do
It's calling for a sacrifice, but then again maybe no
But still you can't take him with you
Can't take him with you when you go"

You can't take it with ya
You can't take it with ya when you go
You can't take it with ya
You can't take it with ya when you go
The Lord he come and get ya
He comin' down to get ya don't you know
You can't take it with ya
You can't take it with ya when you go

The Lord said to Moses "I got a little word I wanna say
To all of them there pagans
Dancin' and drinkin' the night away
I wrote 'em all down for ya
For all of this here world is gonna see
They're numbered one to ten
Hey brother here's another one on me"

You can't take it with ya...

It don't mean nothin' if you put it in a sack
You can't bring nothin'
And you're never comin' back

Well now the Lord said to Jesus,
"You'd better spread the word upon the land
Teach 'em generosity,
Kindness to each and every man
Material positions
Leave them all there where they stand
Because you can't take 'em with ya
You can't take 'em to the Promised Land"

You can't take it with ya...
