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 TV showSeen in every home and barBut you can't take it with youYou might own a great big factoryOil wells on sacred landYou might be in line for promotionWith a foolproof retirement planYou might have your money in copperTextiles or imports from JapanBut you can't take it with youYou can't take it with youThough you might pile it up highIt's so much easier for a camelTo pass through a needle's eyeYou might have a body of fine proportion and a hungry mindA handsome face and a flashing witLips that kiss and eyes that shineThere might be a lot all around the blockLong before your starting timeBut you can't take it with youYou can't take it with youThough you might pile it up highIt's so much easier for a camelTo pass through a needle's eyeYou might have a great reputation so carefully madeAnd a set of high idealsPolished up and so well displayedYou might have a burnin' love insideSo refined, such a special gradeBut you can't take it with youNo, you can't take it with youNo, no, you can't take it with you
