[Verse 1]
A
I got a friend who's a workaholic - he never knows when to quit
E
Me, I knock off early - every chance I get
A D
He's got an IRA for a rainy day - but I wonder if he knows
E A
You can't take it with you when you go
[Chorus]
D
You can't take it with you when you go
A E
You better take some time to live and love - before you get too old

All the treasure in this world don't mean a thing when they lay you low
E A
You can't take it with you when you go

While I'm out somewhere a-fishin' - you can bet he's workin' hard

My little boat's in the water - his big boat sits in the yard

And while I'm makin' time with that gal of mine - his love life's on hold
E A
You can't take it with you when you go
[Chorus]

You can't take it with you when you go

You better take some time to live and love - before you get too old

Now hard work it's a virtue - and there's nothin' wrong with that
