Lyrics
We’re only here so long
So long, no more
You simply can’t go wrong
You’ll find if you bear this in mind
Chorus
Get out in the sun
Get under the moon
Enjoy ev’ry hour of the day
‘Cause you can’t take it with you
You can’t take it with you
So have your fun while you may
A bird in a tree is happy and free
If he learned to talk he would say
Oh! you can’t take it with you
You can’t take it with you
So have your fun while you may
Life is a song, a lovely bowl of cherries
If you’ve got the proper point of view
Life is a song, it really is the berries
When you’re in love and someone loves you
You work and you slave
You skimp and you save
Tho’ you make a million a day
Oh! you can’t take it with you
You can’t take it with you
So live and love and be gay
And have your fun while you may
